I filed my daughter’s return and forgot to mark that she will be claimed as a dependent. This caused my return to be rejected. I went back a filled out an amended return for her, but how can I get mine accepted if it takes 8-20 weeks for the IRS to review her amended return? I am sitting here waiting

You will not be able to e-file for 2019. The amended return will never "catch up" -- you will have to print, sign and mail your own return this time.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Okay, thank you. Shall I mail both my daughters and mine at the same time or should I wait on mine and send hers first in order for hers to be corrected? I didnt want them to ‘correct’ mine and adjust my return amount because she’s not listed as a dependent yet.
