Although the amended return your son sent in was accepted---his SSN is now in the system for this year. You will NOT be able to e-file this year due to his error with his original return. Amended returns never "catch up" in the system in order for you to e-file. Your own return claiming your son will have to be filed by mail. This is a common problem with students and young people who do not understand the rules and who create problems for their parents by saying they cannot be claimed. Sorry.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
