Yes, this is the reason why your return is being rejected.
In order to fix the problem, two things must occur.
1. Your daughter-in-law must file an amended income tax return (see the FAQ below for instructions) to check the box that someone can claim her spouse as a dependent.
2. You must, unfortunately, file your income tax return by mail to include your son as a dependent.

I have a similar question. My son did not originally check the "Someone can claim your spouse as a dependent" so my return was originally rejected. He amended his return with that box checked. His amended return has been accepted, so I resubmitted my tax return electronically but it was just rejected again. How do I get around this - do I need to mail my return instead of filing electronically?
You can't get around this. You'll need to mail in a paper return. The IRS won’t allow a second return claiming the same SSN to be e-filed.
So I can get around this by mailing my paper return, correct?
Yes, you will need to print/mail in your return.
I have the same situation. Do I need to wait for my son-in-law's amended return to be processed before mailing my return to claim my daughter as a dependent?
