Need to amend 2018 return

Suzyqstar872 — Thu, 07 Mar 2019 15:02:53 GMT

I made a mistake I had noticed after filing because I didn’t know that a newborn is counted as living with you all year (he was born in October) and therefore didn’t get the child tax credit but a $500 “dependant credit” . I’ve been wanting to ammend online but the days has changed three times to when it will be available and still is not today even though it’s suposee to be. What else can I do??
