After you file
I recommend that you file the amended return if you can and mail your father's return, including you on it. An amended return can take from 12 -18 weeks for the IRS to process. Leave your return as it is.
- Your father won't be able to Efile.
- Have him mail it with you included as a dependent.
- Whether your amended return is filed, not filed or completely processed, the IRS will identify the duplicate Social Security Number and send a letter asking for information.
- You can then respond to the letter,
- There may be a case manager's phone number in the top right corner. (This isn't always the case).
- You can then resolve this with correspondence.
Just a note: This will not increase your chances of an audit.
