Can I file paper return after rejection?

I am HOH. I filed my tax returns as well as my two sons filed their own tax returns. My e-file was rejected by the IRS and CA. The reason of rejection was on my two sons' 1040, page 1, I omitted to check mark on "Someone can claim: You as a dependent". I amended my two sons' 1040 to correct this. My sons' Amended returns were accepted. I transmitted the e-file again but it was rejected for the same reason. What should I do. Can I paper file my 1040?

If your return rejected because your dependent claimed themselves you might be able to efile yours by getting an IP Pin.  See the last answer on this post
