What is the entire exact reject message that you got, including the code? I'm sure your tax return is not being rejected because you selected "son" as the relationship. Most likely what happened is that either someone else has filed a tax return claiming your son as a dependent, or he filed his own tax return and did not say that someone could claim him as a dependent. We might be able to tell you more if you post the complete reject message.

There are two types of dependents--Qualifying Child and Qualifying Relative.    If your adult son is not permanently and totally disabled he can be a qualifying relative for whom you get the $500 credit for other dependents if he meets the criteria to be a qualifying relative.   WHO CAN I CLAIM AS A DEPENDENT?     You can claim a child, relative, friend, or fiancé (etc.) as a dependent on your 2024 tax return as long as they meet the following requirements: Qualifying child They're related to you. They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else. They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse. They're under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students). No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children. They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply). They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year. Qualifying relative They don't have to be related to you (despite the name). They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else. They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse. They lived with you the entire year (exceptions apply). They made less than $5050 in 2024.   (Not counting Social Security) You provided more than half of their financial support. When you add someone as a dependent, we'll ask a series of questions to make sure you can claim them. There may be other tax benefits you can get when you claim a dependent.
