Dependent mistake

in Filing my taxes

My now 18 year old son did his own taxes and accidentally checked the box that no one could claim him as a dependent for last year. Now my tax return is being rejected because of it. We went through and amended his return so it is proper now. Is the only option for me to mail in my tax returns now or should I file for an extension while hopefully they get his amended return processed?
Thanks

    I have the same issue. Did you ever figure this out?

    I was able to efile by getting a IP Pin through the IRS website. Hopefully getting the IP Pin does not cause me any long term problems but I did select for this year only. I would recommend that you research if you want to get one or not.
