Only the parent that the child physically lived with more than half the year can claim the EIC, Child Care Credit and HOH filing status. If that us you, then you will have to mail file this year. The IRS will not allow any other tax return to be e-filed with the same SSN, reguardless of an amended return or not (amended returns also take 4 months or more to process).
