There may be an unfortunate tax penalty to you here. If an individual pays disability premiums personally with after-tax dollars, the disability benefits are not taxable. So there is a chance that the original W-2s were correct, reflecting no taxable benefits.   But if those payments had to be repaid if you received SS Disability benefits, you are returning benefits which were not taxed (appropriately) but replacing them with taxable SS benefits. You can't record a credit or a deduction in the current year if those prior year benefits weren't taxed in the first place.

You can't "fix" this except by printing your correct return, signing it, and mailing it in.  The IRS will process your return and pay your refund, and then address any conflicts.    If you did figure out which dependent was the problem, and remove them so you can e-file, you may get much less money, and then it would take 6-8 months to get an amended return with the correct info.      If you claimed the correct dependents based on the rules, file by mail. If you think your child might be a victim of identity theft, you can get an IP PIN for them that will block anyone else from claiming them in the future. https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/get-an-identity-protection-pin

Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return. Don’t forget state.
