If you have the right to claim your son as a dependent, you can claim your son on your tax return but you cannot e-file. You'll have to print and mail your tax return.
The IRS will write to you and the other person claiming your son asking for proof of dependency and will decide based on the proof that each party will provide. When the problem is resolved, you will get your refund if your claim if justified.
