Child missed parents will claim so my filing rejected

Hi all, child missed checking my parents will claim me on her 1040 so when I file mine they are rejected. Helped her complete and submit 1040X with that check box as the only change. I filed mine again and they are still rejecting, same reason. Anyone have experience, how long I should wait to refile mine electronically so it absorbs her one change of the checkbox? Thank you in advance!

Unfortunately you will need to file a paper return because there is no way to get around the e-file system once your dependent has already filed and claimed themselves.  Paper file with your dependent included on your return.

 

This article will give instruction on how to print and mail your return.
