I accidently claimed my child this tax year (2024) and was not the intended parent this year. After submitting my initial return on 3/29/25. I realized the mistake and submitted an amendment the next day (3/30/25) via TurboTax to remove my dependent.
My ex-wife was the intended parent however when trying to add the dependent on; her return was rejected. Both my initial and amendment was received by the IRS (Federal & State) and she was still unable to add the dependent and submit.
1). Did I amend my taxes too soon since the initial submission just went through the day before?
2). What recommended steps should my ex-wife take to ensure she can add the dependent on time before the 4/15/25 deadline?
Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advanced.
