@ mzmudallal 

Who got the IND-544 rejection---your return or the son's return?

 

An IND-544 rejection means someone has already claimed the filer as a dependent, and a dependent cannot claim a dependent.   If it's your return that rejected with IND-544, that would mean someone has claimed you as a dependent.
