Removing of dependent

[Deeluv]

I just submit my tax return last night, and was accepted by IRS. I got a text from IRS that I’ve been audited, I just found out that one of my dependent from 2023 tax return was claimed by his grandfather. I claimed him last year and this year. Now I want to remove him from my tax return 2024 that I just submitted last night. What can I do?

You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
