@starangelmonkey You are correct; it takes the IRS 8-12 weeks to process an mailed Amended Return to remove a Dependent.
Look at your Form 1040 to see if you claimed a Dependent. If not, the other parent's Efile should not reject when he claims a Dependent and indicates that the dependent did not live with him.
Look at Line 27 on your Form 1040 to see if you received the Earned Income Credit. If you did not claim a Dependent and your Refund was for the EIC only, you will not have to pay back (or Amend) your return.
The Non-Custodial Parent cannot get the EIC, only the Child Tax Credit for a Dependent. You are correctly splitting the child credits.
