Dependent

Hi,

 

I am divorced and have one son. Every year I used to file as. Head of the household.

 This year my son filled his taxes and did not checked the box which says “Someone can claim him as dependent “

 

Now my taxes got rejected when I claimed him. Now I am not able to file as Head of House hold and that is affected my refund tremendously (almost $3000).

what are my options. And if my son amends his taxes will his refunds will get affected?

 

It’s difficult for me to do math on what would be the best scenario for this situation?
