I am divorced and i have two children. my ex and i claim one each. i filed last week and claimed the wrong child. how do i modify?

[Opus 17]

Who has actual custody more than half the nights of the year? Did you give your ex a signed form 8332 for one child (or your ex gave one to you?)

You will need to amend your return in order to make changes once your return has been accepted by the IRS. Please follow the directions below to prepare your amended return.

Note: you must mail your amended return. This type of return is not eligible for e-file. Your ex-husband will also need to mail his return since the child has been claimed on your return.
