My 18 year old son worked full time and attended college full time this year. I initially claimed him as a dependent and filed. Now we realize it is more beneficial for me to NOT claim him and he claim himself with the new college tax laws. I filed an amended return and removed him as a dependent from my return, which the IRS and NY State both accepted. I paid back the tax difference to the IRS and NY State.
But when my son files his return it is still getting rejected by both the IRS and NY State saying his SSN is still being claimed on another return.
Is this just something we have to wait for the IRS to process? If so how long or should we reach out and contact them? My son is due a refund from both so I'm not worried about penalties.
Thanks ...
