After you file

UPDATE. THIS IS FRUSTRATING.

 

1. Deleting the 1040x form didn't correct the issue.

2. There is no form to delete to correct the dependent issue.

2. Calling customer support resulted in being on hold for 45 minutes and then getting disconnected by them without ever speaking to a live person. Argh.

 

I initially started an amended return was curious what would happen if I allowed my dependent child's other parent to claim her even though I'd already filed. Plus, I received a 1099-INT form for $35 after I filed and wanted to report it. In other words, I had one change I had to make (the 1099-INT) and one change I was curious about.

 

1. I added the 1099-INT form and that resulted in me owing my State $2.

2. I deleted my dependent child and that resulted in me owing the IRS a few thousand dollars.

 

I cancelled the amended return I'd started thinking that everything would zero out so that I could just create an amended return for the 1099-INT. But, when I tried to create a new amended return, the changes remained. I followed the advice here and deleted the 1040X form. Didn't work. Additionally, I'm no longer listed as head of household and now it's not even an option for me to select.

 

I'm going to call again later when I have the ability to be on hold forever, but I'm not optimistic. I may just file the 1099-INT next year if I can't resolve this, but I shouldn't have to do that and I very much dislike having this hanging over me. 

 

If anyone else has suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Thanks!!
