what do I do now? My son already filed his taxes and DID NOT mark that someone can claim him as a dependent. The IRS has rejected my e-file.
Your son has to amend his tax return to change his dependency status.
An amended tax return, Form 1040X, can only be printed, signed, dated and mailed by you to the IRS, it cannot be e-filed. The IRS will take up to 4 months to process the amended tax return.

You will have to print and mail your tax return since a tax return with his name and SS number has already been received and accepted by the IRS. You keep him as a dependent on your tax return. If you are due a tax refund the IRS will pay the refund.
