A Dependent SSN ... must not be ... on another return where 'PrimaryClaimAsDependentInd' or 'SpouseClaimAsDependentInd' is not checked"?

Full error message from IRS:  IND-517-01 - A Dependent SSN in the return must not be the same as the Primary or Spouse SSN on another return where 'PrimaryClaimAsDependentInd' or 'SpouseClaimAsDependentInd' is not checked.

My son got married on Dec 29.  My daughter-in law used TT to file, and it filed as "married filing separately".  On her return, the checkbox "Someone can claim your spouse as a dependent" is NOT checked. (It never asked)  My son has not yet filed.  

Is this checkbox the cause of my return being rejected?  How do we fix this?
