My girlfriend and I have 2 children together. She always claims the kids. The kids are listed on my return but I do not claim them. Turbo tax even asks if someone else will be claiming them so that I do not get the credit for them. I filed my taxes and they were accepted. She filed hers and they got rejected due to someone having claimed the kids as dependents already, even though no one has. Is the issue that the kids are listed on my return? even though I am not claiming the child tax credit? If that is the issue, would I need to amend before she can file hers, or can I print hers and mail them in and then amend mine when the option becomes available. Thanks
