If your not going to claim him as a dependent, you don't have to mail the amended return. Mailing the amended return with the correction would allow you to be able to amend your return later if you choose. If you do not mail in his amended return and not are claiming him as a dependent you will loose all the credits for having a dependent and any Child Tax Credit for that tax period.
