After you file

Yes,  You will need to have your daughter file an amended return to indicate that she is the dependent of another person.  You do not need to wait for her refund.  You will need to print, sign, date and mail the return in according to the instructions that will print out with the amended return.

 

It will take 8-16 weeks for the IRS to process her amended return once it is sent in, only after her amended return has processed can you file your return without it being rejected.
