Waiting for your ex's amended return is pointless. Amended returns take months, so if you are claiming a child put on his tax return, you have to print, sign and mail your own return. You cannot e-file. If you are the one who can claim the child, then claim her and mail your return.
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.
