Was his return efiled before yours? Check his return and see if it is checked for Someone can claim you on the Standard Deduction line in the top half of the 1040. If he didn't claim Dependent then you will have to print and mail your return this year to claim him. He will have to amend his return. You don't have to wait for his return to be amended since you have to mail yours.

So whose return was rejected? Yours or his? You should get an email with a reject code. It may be for something else. Could anyone else have already claimed him, like his other parent? Or it could be an honest mistake on someone else's return that they entered a ssn wrong on their return and got his by accident.
