Sorry------the only way you can file now is by mail. Once you put her SSN into the system, you cannot e-file a return claiming her as a dependent. In order to claim your daughter, you have to file by mail. Amending takes months....the system will not "catch up" this year and allow you to e-file with her SSN claimed as a dependent. Even requesting an extension will not help you.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
