I just had my e-filed return rejected because my daughter e-filed her taxes before I did and she accidentally forgot to check the box that said she would be claimed as my dependent. Her income was low enough so that it did not affect her refund either way, but if I can not claim her, it makes a $500 difference on my taxes and changes my return from a refund to me owing tax.
My question is: Once she receives her refund and mails in an amended return with the correction about her being my dependent on form 1040X, is it possible for me to wait a few weeks and then e-file my return again, but leave everything the same as it was when they just rejected my return?
