Child's return didn't have dependent box checked our return rejected....

Our son filed with intuit online before us and said he answered "yes" to the questions on TurboTax online that he could be claimed by someone else, but the box didn't go through as checked, because when we filed our return through our purchased TurboTax software on 4/15/24, we were rejected due to his SS# being primary on another return.  Our son filed an amended return immediately and since we didn't owe additional taxes for 2023 and due a refund, we weren't worried about interest or penalties for ours getting processed in after the deadline, we chose to wait until his amended return was processed to e-file.  Though since it's been over 16 weeks and his federal return still hasn't been processed, (interstingly his State of CA has!) and now reading these posts that ours would never go through e-file process that we've been waiting for, couldn't we just purchase software for e-filing through another e-file service, such as HR Block, where his SS# wasn't entered previously, wouldn't ours go through e-file that way since his SS# isn't entered in their system?  Thank you for your help!
