How can I amend child dependents on a return I was going to print but cannot get to an edit page?

I orginally did an efile and was rejected because my foster children do no yet have social security numbers. I then answered questions which made them ineligible. I have since learned they can sometimes be applied as deductions, but I need to file a paper return with the IRS. I cannot go into the page and edit their info to make them dependents. I also cannot clear the return and start over.

As long as you have not mailed your return in, you can make the changes in the program.

 

Please see the link below for directions.
