After you file

Let's be clear-----Your son is the one who has to amend his tax return.   When the 1040X is available -- should be by March 18 --- he can e-file the amended return.    Your own return that claims him as your dependent cannot be e-filed.  YOU are not amending---only your son is amending.   You will mail an original Form 1040.
