After you file

No you cannot recall your son's e-filed return.  Did it say he cannot be claimed?  And now you believe you can claim him?   You cannot overcome the duplicate use of his SSN, so the only way you can file and claim him now is by mailing your own return.    If your son's return is incorrect it can be amended after it has been fully processed.

 

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.
