Efile rejected because Ex (likely) already claimed a child. My client thinks the Ex claimed only one child. So, she wants to e-file again excluding the child she thinks was claimed.
Do I need to clear e-file history before trying again?

I would just 'suppress for this year' the kid at issue in the dependents screeen, then try e-filing again. You shouldn't have to clear the history. At least I didn't on one similar several years ago.
Obviously the tax will change (most likely...) so you might need new esign docs.

Sometimes the business of tax preparation devolves into a slight of hand card trick --------- pick a kid, any kid. Honestly, why can't folks get their act together a little better than that. 😢

Her ex filed first. But she had a strong hunch that he would claim only one child. She knew the ex would claim his "favorite". She was right!
I removed the favorite, refiled and it went through. So happy!
Thanks for your help you guys.
