Deductions & credits

Your post is confusing.   You say the tax return has not been filed yet and then you say it was rejected.  Which is it---it cannot be both.   Did the father file a tax return?   Are the parents married---or living as a family?   Why is there  confusion over who claimed the child?   Are you filing married filing separately?   Or do the parents live apart?  Who is the custodial parent?
