Sadly if you posted this situation when you first found out about it we could have saved you a lot of time waiting for your paper return to be processed. We would have told you to mail in your return immediately and not to wait for her amended return to be processed. Now all you can do is paper file the return and wait approximately 6 to 10 months for it to be processed. Your other option is to remove the child from your return, e-file the return, then amend the return to put the child back and mail in the amended return. Depending on how much a difference the child makes to your return and how long you're willing to wait for a refund will dictate which choice you make.
