Why would tax return reject for "Dependent SSN must not be same as the Primary/Spouse SSN" when kids checked on their Return "Someone can claim you as a dependent" ?

This reject code doesn't compare what's on your childrens' return to your return.

This reject code is telling you that the Social Security Number you've listed for a dependent you claimed on your own return is the same as the Social Security Number for the Primary Taxpayer or Spouse on the return.
