@Tommyleedoggy You will not ever be able to e-file a return claiming your brother as your dependent even if your mother amends. She put his SSN in the system and it will not be corrected in the system for a very long time. If you are the one who can claim your brother then your own return can only be filed by mail.
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.
