How long will it be before I can amend my return

The Form 1040X to amend a 2025 return is scheduled to be available on February 19---with that date subject to change.   But.....your parent(s) do not have to wait for you to amend.  Waiting will not help them.   Your amended return will take months to be processed.  

 

They have two possible remedies:

 

File their return by mail.   Print, sign and date their return that claims you in ink, and mail it.   This will delay their refund but the IRS will not reject a mailed return.  You still must amend even if they file by mail.

 

They can seek IP PIN and try to e-file:

 

GET IP pin in order to e-file if your dependent’s SSN was claimed on another return
