Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you filed your return, claimed your daughter as a dependent and the return was accepted by the IRS, filing an amended return should not change your refund. 

 

If you filed a return claiming your daughter as a dependent and the IRS corrected your refund because your daughter had already filed her return then filing an amended return may result in a larger refund for you. Before you file an amended return in this situation your daughter's return should be (or has been) amended, accepted and any tax due paid. 

 

Your fact summary states you resubmitted your daughter's return. Does that mean you filed an amended return for her?
