I'm also mailing a form 8332 ...
I'll be amending my return to take off my daughter and owe money back to the fed/state. I will then wait for the amended return to process. When the amended return is accepted, I can process his return with our daughters info. I hope everything goes smoothly for you.
As I posted above - if you both live with the child a 8332 form does not apply at all. That form is only for parents that have been separated for at least the last 6 months of 2019 and only one parent lived with the child. A 8332 form will only complicate things and clause long delays because it does not apply to this situation.
Amended returns are not "accepted" - they take up to 4 months to process and that does NOT allow an e-fileing using the same SSN any time this year. The IRS locks out a SSN totally for the year for e-filing once it has been used to prevent fraud. Another tax return claiming the same child can ONLY be mail filed.
