PrimaryClaimAsDependentInd on our return, trying to file

I did our daughter's taxes and come to find out, failed to check the box stating someone else can claim as a dependent, which gave her the 3rd stimulus back in her taxes (I should have known this was an error on my part at the time). I then tried to file our taxes, but it was rejected with "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." error due to not checking the box on our daughters taxes.

 

I finally got our daughter's taxes amended this week with the dependent box checked and her amended return was accepted.  Tonight I try to e-file our taxes again, but was rejected yet again. 

 

At the bottom of Turbo Tax is says, If the dependent information is correct and you want to file this return electronically, they can not be claimed on this return. If you want to keep the dependent on this return, you will have to print the return and file by mail.  So there is no other way to file our taxes other than to mail them in?

 

Thanks.
