I have learned to make sure the parents return gets efiled first - and if they say they are filing the kids return themselves I tell them to wait until they file their return. This way it will be the kid's return that is rejected and you can then just check off the dependent box and resubmit. Once the parents find out that their refund may be held up for months just so their kid gets his $100 is enough to make them do what you say.
