My client's dependent child's social security number was used fraudulently. How do we correct the issue? Shall  we just file claiming the dependent anyway?

You have to paper file the return.  Make sure you fill out 8948.

If the client is entitled to claim the child as a dependent and someone else erroneously claimed the child, absolutely file the return to include the child, you'll just have to paper file.
