Rejected efiling with IRS

I efiled a 2019 tax return, but it was rejected by the IRS because one of the dependents listed on the return filed their own return. However, I obtained a copy of the dependents 2019 returned filed with Turbo Tax and they properly checked the boxes to notify the IRS and state that they were a dependent on someone else return, i.e. parents return. This dependent is 20 years old and in college and only made about $3,000. How do you handle this in the program? Why would the return be rejected? Thoughts? Thanks!!

    Thanks for your response!!  This is a pain in you know what doing it by paper.  Due to the current situation, it will take the IRS several weeks to process vs a week or so by efiling!!  Thanks again.
