I thought i removed someone as a dependent because someone else already claimed them but it didn't remove them and i already submitted my taxes what do i do?

I want to know can I modify my efiling before the IRS processes my taxes I submitted them 2 days ago

If someone else has already claimed the person as a dependent this year, your e-filing will/should get rejected. If your e-file gets accepted, that most likely means the other person has not filed yet. 

If yours gets accepted, the only thing you can do is amend your return.

The amend function will come available on March 7th in TurboTax and you can use this link to get to instructions.

If your return gets rejected, you will simply have to remove the dependent from your return:

What are the chances I can file the revision before my taxes are processed? so it doesn't delay my return or should I expect to receive my return later than I originally expected?

So, if it gets accepted, you will get your refund in 21 days or most likely less. You will then amend and probably have to pay some of that money back. You can't revise once submitted, but the bottom line is you will still get your refund....just don't spend all of it 🙂

okay thank you the dependent i meant to remove didn't change how much I was going to get back on my refund I sure hope i don't have to pay anything back and I signed up to receive the amendment form on the 7th thank you again
