Not sure how to proceed. My 19 year old living with me dependent filed his return back in February before he had all of his W2’s. When he filed, he selected he could not be claimed as dependent on my return. He asked about how to add the late W2 after he filed. I told him we’d amend it later no biggie, it was for only a couple days work and no taxes were taken out. We went to do the amendment 2 days ago for the W2 and double checked everything and found the “not able to be claimed as dependent” box checked. So I added the W2 and corrected the dependent box and filed his amendment e-file for Fed and mail for state. E-file Fed amendment already accepted. Filed mine last night and got rejected with the dependent SSN error matching a non-dependent return. If it was for a refund I wouldn’t care but I owe both Fed and state and April 18th is 2 days away. I assume since they were rejected the direct debit isn’t going to happen Monday as scheduled. My return is correct but it’s the one being rejected. How do I fix this the right way and still pay on time to avoid penalties and late fees?
