After you file

Being late only matters if you owe tax due.   If you  do not owe or are getting a refund, it is okay to file after the April 15 deadline.   It is late on deadline night and you are not likely to be able to fix this by midnight in your timezone.  Sorry.   The remedy is for you to wait for your return to be fully processed and then amend.  When you amend:

Go to MY INFO.  Click your name.   Go through the screens for the question that asks if someone else can claim you as a dependent.  Say YES.

 

 

Meanwhile....your parent's return is being rejected.  Their choices are to print, sign and mail their own return that claims you as a dependent.   Or they can try to get an IP PIN to use for you on their return in order to e-file.

 

GET IP pin in order to e-file if your dependent’s SSN was claimed on another return
