The problem created when your child's return was sent in without saying she could be claimed as a dependent means you cannot e-file this year. Her SSN is in the system now and that is not going to change any time soon. Even if she amends, that will take many months. There is no need to wait for her amended return to be processed. The only way for you to claim her and file your return is by mail. The IRS will then process your return that claims your daughter.
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.
