    You can't, at least not directly. If you believe that you are the person who should claim your son as a dependent on your taxes, then do so. If someone else has already filed and claimed your son, then you will find that you can not e-file, as the IRS computer will recognize the discrepancy and prevent you from filing. So file a paper return, claiming your son. The IRS will eventually follow up and resolve the issue.
