Yes your return will reject if he was already claimed.  But you won’t know by who.  Then you will have to mail your return.

Sorry I just want to be sure I understand..  So let's say I fill out everything online and submit it will I find out then or later..  Like will I find out as soon as I enter my sons social security number?

Well later.  When the IRS rejects it.  Should only take a couple days.
