You will not be able to e-file this year, no matter whether he amended or not. It will be a very long time before his amended return catches up in the system. Sorry---but you have joined the large club of parents whose kids mess things up for them by answering incorrectly on their tax returns that they cannot be claimed. Your return claiming your son must be printed, signed and dated in ink, and mailed.
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.
