Can your taxes be amended after they have been rejected for dependent error? Should I just let a professional take over?

you do not amend but correct the original. return. since it was rejected. if you are using an SSN that was used on another return and that person did not indicate they could be claimed as a dependent, your only option is to file by mail. The other party if truly your dependent must amend their return to claim they are someone else's dependent.
