After you file
She can file at any time with the child as a dependent on her tax return. But her return can only be printed and and mailed, it cannot be e-filed since the IRS has already received a tax return with the dependent's SSN. And amending your return will still not allow her to e-file.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.
Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
