@shaggsdaJ Agreed, there should be a fast route for people who are clearly not dependents, but simply made an error on their taxes.
Unfortunately that would take an act of Congress and a new law. The current law is clear - a tax return error can only be corrected by filing a 1040X amended tax return. That is the remedy for a correcting an error. The IRS cannot change the law - only Congress can.
