Do you have a teenager or college student who filed their own tax return?   If so, they may have filed and said they could not be claimed as someone else's dependent.  This rejection can also happen if someone else claimed your dependent and used their SSN.

When you get this rejection the only way you can file and claim the dependent is to print, sign and mail your own tax return that claims the dependent.  Sorry--but the processing time for mailed returns is quite a long time this year.
