Why did we receive an efile rejection for parents with son filing his efile return with no issues?

We efiled the 17 year old son's return to get his refund on his taxes paid in and he is a dependent on his parent's return. When filing the parent's it was rejected due to multiple social security numbers? Will we have to file by paper the parent's.

it said Multiple SSNs? I've never seen that rejection.

Did you forget to mark that the son could be claimed as a dependent of someone else on his return?

And the rejection was actually that the SSN had already been used on another return?

After looking at the return yes forgot to select he can be claimed as a dependent.

So how would we be able to correct his return and then be able to file the parents by efile?

Can we amend electronically?

You can amend the son's electronically.

It may or may not get updated in the IRS database in time to efile the parents' return. If I was a betting woman, I'd bet it won't.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

A possible option to to file the parents' return without the son, then e-file an amended/superseded return with the son.

The new release from last summer seems to indicate that is possible now.

Taxpayers can also amend their return electronically if there is change to their filing status or to add a dependent who was previously claimed on another return.
