Dependent
When auditing files, some dependents may be filed on the tax return as a “Non Qualifying Dependent” Please be sure to check the 1040 for ALL dependents. If a dependent appears in the software but is not on the 1040, that means the dependent is Non Qualifying and the taxpayer is not receiving any credit therefore no documentation is needed for that dependent.
