After you file

@mikeyd90512 You cannot e-file this year no matter how soon the other parent amends.     The child's SSN has been put into the system already and that will not change soon enough for you to e-file.   Print sign and mail your own return that claims the child.

 

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.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
