How can I add my 3 children to put them on my child tax credit after they have been used as dependents in someone else's taxes that should not have been used? What do I need to file or amend?

Assuming you already have your children listed on your return as dependents and haven't filed a return without them prior, you will need to paper file your return.  If someone has been previously claimed you can not successfully e-file your return.
