After you file

Do all of you live together as a family?  If so, then the child should only be entered on one tax return, not both.  If the other parent already filed and claimed the child then you cannot e-file a return with the child's SSN on your return.   You need to delete the child's SSN and just file Single with no mention of the child on your return.
