Dependent, Ammendments

  • When I filed taxes this year I accidentally still had my child on as a dependent. I immediately efiled an amendment. This did not affect my return amount as I didn't do the child tax credit. My ex has to do a paper return I guess, he called them (we found out days after I amended this) I got message saying amendment was accepted, the message about not starting to process until the 15th, and that I should receive refund within whatever time frame. I amended before accepted/approved or processed. Will I still get my tax refund quickly? Since amounts are the same... it never said anything about taking longer because of the amendment but when my ex called and was told even though I amended he had to do paper return which won't be received by them right away... will they automatically flag my sons SS number and not process my return or will they refund it and just wait for his paper work and my amendment to go through
