It depends on how you completed the amended return. Always start an amendment by clicking Amend(change) my return first. If anything was changed before clicking this button, then it may have to be redone.
Go to the IRS site: Where's My Amended Return? | Internal Revenue Service to see what has been reported.
The important point about filing an amended return is that the original return must be reported in Column A of Form 1040-X so that the change can be shown in Column B and the new return shown in Column C.
If changes were made before selecting Amend(change) my return, then Column A will not be the original which means the change will not be calculated.
If you do need to file a second amended return, wait until the first amendment is processed and accepted by the IRS.
- Delete Form 1040X that is currently in the return and then click Amend(change) my return.
- Go to Tax Tools in the left menu and select Tools.
- Select Delete a Form and scroll to find Form 1040X to Delete it.
Keep in mind that the IRS follows rules to determine your dependency status. If you do not meet these rules, then you will not be considered independent.
If you did not provide more than 50% of your own support, not counting student loans, then you are not independent.
