E-file rejected IND-517-01 and multiple dependent SSNs

My e-file was rejected with the code IND-517-0. We do suspect that our oldest daughter's info was compromised due to a data breach. However, we don't know for sure that it is her SSN that is causing the rejection? According to TurboTax (download version) it indicates that I should be able to tell which dependent's info is in question because a bracketed number will be placed next to it, but where? There seems to be no indication anywhere in the forms where this has occurred. It would be nice to know so I am sure which of my dependents social security numbers have been subject to a fraudulent tax filing. None of my dependents file taxes yet and their SSN's are correct. However, Turbotax says a number in brackets should tell me which dependent SSN is the problem [1] for the first listed or [2] for the 2nd listed. But again, where is this found in the software? It seems I'll have to file a paper return, but I'd like to not have to wait for the IRS to look at my paper return and then send me a letter in order to take action.

The first dependent on your return is causing the Efile reject. This is designated by the 01 at the end of the error message.

I have read all of that article. I know what the error message is saying. My question is related to how do I tell which SSN is the problem? My point is simply that TurboTax seems to indicate that it can point out which of the dependent SSN's listed is the one in question by the IRS. Am I missing something? See the paragraph "If multiple dependents are present..." It implies that Turbotax can show me the problematic SSN, but where in the software will it do that?
