The IRS is backlogged and has not processed amended returns so your child still shows as claimed by him. Your only option is to file by mail as IRS system will take up to 6 weeks or longer to show the changes.
Sorry you have to mail your return this year even if he amended his return. Once a ssn has been used you can't efile it again. So you don't have to wait to mail your return.
Even if I mail it in, am I able to still claim my son even though my bf amended return still hasn’t been processed? Or is still being processed? I know it takes up two 20 weeks and I’m not sure if I can even file claiming him still at that point.
Thanks for your help!
@lalah0330 wait till 4/15 to file.
Please mark answered so question gets removed and TT won't email you reminders.
All the best.
Yes you can claim him if you mail. The IRS may send you both letters to determine who qualifies to claim him.
