If my Federal Tax Return Refund was submitted incorrectly claiming a child, and I am in the process of amending it, how do I edit my state tax refund to not claim child?

The amendment form (Form 1040X) is not available for filing yet. The IRS will release it in February, most likely. In order to correctly amend your return, you must follow a process.

So, the first step would be to go back to your return and make sure that any changes that you made AFTER you submitted your original return are removed and your return looks again exactly how you originally filed it.

When the amendment process for 2017 tax returns is ready in early February, you can follow these steps to complete your amendment and mail it in. You will be guided through both the federal and state. It cannot be e-filed: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3288565
