Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You cannot efile and claim the children even though the other return was corrected. 

The IRS computer will not be updated until next season. 

 

You have two choices:

 

Claim the dependents and paper-file (mail the return) 

The IRS is behind processing paper returns. 

 

E-file without claiming the dependents if you will get a refund.

You will be able to efile if you are not claiming the children

Next amend the return and claim the children for the additional refund 

The amended return will need to be paper-filed and mailed.
