Solved
Parent return was rejected because box was not checked on dependent return that they could be claimed as a dependent. Parent is properly claiming dependent.
In short, the box on dependent tax return "tax payer can be claimed as a dependent" was not checked when it should have been. This return was submitted first, then the parent who claimed the dependent. Parent return was rejected for e-filing. Basically the dependent return now needs to be amended and paper filed and the parent return also needs to be paper filed. Has anybody else run into this? Is this the only way to fix? any suggestions would be appreciated!
