How do I file the 1040X, to remove the EIC from original 1040 form? (I claimed head of household but did not claim my sone as dependent so just 1 exemption - myself).

My ex husband claimed our son (his year to claim 2015). I put our son's name down as dependent for head of household. How do I fill out Part I of 1040X?

You will need to wait to see if your return is accepted or rejected. If rejected, you may correct and resubmit. If it is accepted, you will need to file an amendment 1040X, and that will not be ready until mid-February.

When the amend instructions have been posted and form 1040X finalized, they will appear in this TurboTax FAQ.

Then, when working in amendment, you may go to the Personal Info section to edit your dependent information.
