After you file
You cannot e-file this year. Waiting for your daughter's amended return to be processed will not help you; that may take many months, or even into next year. Print, sign and mail your own return.
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.
If it is any comfort, you are joining the big club of parents whose kids have messed them up this way. They do it all the time.
