Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You have to file by mail---federal and state.  Your son's SSN is in the system for this year and will take months--months...months--- to be corrected by the IRS.   And if you cannot e-file federal you cannot e-file state.

 

Print, sign and mail your return that claims your son as a dependent.  (and welcome to the huge club of parents whose kids have done this).

 

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.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
