@Jivjiv If someone else claimed your dependents and then your e-file was rejected, you need to file your correct tax return that claims your children and file it by MAIL. The IRS will then sort out who could claim the children. If you have not already done so then you can still file that 2021 return that claims your children.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
There is no point in posting personal information about the person who claimed your children here in this user forum. TurboTax cannot sort it out for you or intervene with the IRS for you.
