After you file

Even though you have amended your child's return, you cannot e-file at all this year.  Her SSN will remain in the system now.    It will be months before the IRS processes her amended return.    You have to print sign and mail your return that claims her as your dependent.

 

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.

 

 

Oh---and your daughter will have to pay back that $1400.
