Hello. I claimed my dependent 21 yr old son who is a full time student and lives with us full time. We provide for him. We claimed him on our taxes as a dependent. He filed later because he had withholdings from his part-time job. However, when he filed he got a rejection: IND-452: SSN already filed. Is this because we already claimed him? What should we do... will paper filing solve this? TY

Then he will have to print and mail his return.

On his return did he check the box saying that someone else can claim him?

Yes, we made sure he did that.

He should be able to transmit his return electronically if he returns to the My Info section and selects the option that indicates he was claimed as a dependent on another return.

After double-checking to be sure this is marked, if the return still rejects he should file by mail.
