Hi. An amended return is filed after filing an original return. It is used to correct an error on the original return. If he filed thru TurboTax, he can use the TurboTax program to amend his return as well. If he amends his return, the issue is resolved because he withdrew his claim. In any case, go ahead and mail your return as you normally would. I would advise calling the IRS directly at 1-800-829-1040 with your questions about the issuance of your refund. I can tell you they will not punish you for his wrongful actions. You do not have to mail in anything other than your return until the IRS contacts you. See <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="

The sections on earned income credit, dependents, and filing status will tell you what the IRS will ask for when they investigate this issue. If he does not agree to amend his return, I would probably go ahead and get all of the information described in this publication together so it is ready to send when they contact you. The information in this publication may help you convince him to amend his return as well.
