You will have to mail your return this year to claim him.

He will have to amend his return. How to amend an Online return https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/7276596

So, in the meantime, how do I (the parent) claim him as a dependent? Otherwise, what I owe doubles!

You claim him on your return. You have to print and mail your return. You don't have to wait for him to amend his.

Still have questions?
