Its claiming that someone claimed my child but neither myself or his father did. We need assistance.

My son's father is supposed to claim him, but his return keeps getting rejected. I filed that I was NOT claiming this child as a dependant this year. Why is this happening?

It sounds like someone else has used his social security number on their return.  At this point you won't be able to efile but you can mail in the return with the child on the return.  It will take longer to process and you may get questions from the irs but you can't efile with that social security number on the return.
