Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It is not a huge problem, but you will need to wait until you find if the IRS accepts the return you filed.   Hopefully, it will get rejected for some reason and you can change your status before you re-file.   But, if it gets accepted, you will need to do an amended return and pay back any portion of the refund you don't qualify for.   You will most likely be entitled to some of it but definitely not all of it if you claimed the recovery rebate, so don't spend it all if and when they send it.  

 

If your dad files his return before Feb 12th, there is a chance his return will go through first and yours will get rejected which would save you both some troubles.   But if his return goes through after yours gets accepted, he will have to file by mail as it will be rejected.   But we can walk you through what you need to do then.    There is nothing you can do now but wait since you already filed.  On the 12th, start checking the status of your return and let us know here if it was accepted or rejected and we will go from there.
