2024 Taxes rejected - dependents question

Question for the group:   In 2024, me and wife got married.  I tried to do 2024 taxes as married and jointly, but continues to getting rejected.   In 2023, I claimed my elder mother while she claimed her 2 kids.  For 2024, I combined them all which is the only thing I can think why its being rejected.  Does this mean we need to file married, but separate since we both have separate dependents?
