Filed amended tax return so my spouse can claim the kids

[Andreanna92]

So I filed my taxes claiming the kids, when my other half was supposed to. So I did an amended return by e file and it was all accepted. 
my husband has e filed and been rejected still over and over to claim them and the earned income, I claimed earned income but deleted them in the dependents section completely.

why is he still being rejected for them being on another tax form if they were amended and taken off mine? Has anyone else had to deal with this that can tell me what I have to do next lol

You don't have to do anything. Your husband has to file his tax return by mail. Even though you amended your return, the IRS does not update its e-file database, so it will continue to reject your husband's e-file.

[ee-ea]

He files on paper.

Your spouse will have to print and mail the return to get it accepted. Amended returns take several months to process so your spouse will not be able to efile the return until the amended return is processed. Accepted is not the same as being processed.
