The Form 1040X is scheduled to be available on February 26. The date is subject to change, so check on 2-26 to see if it is ready. Before that, do not change anything at all on your return.

Your parents do not have to wait for you to amend.

Waiting will not help them at all. They can either print, sign and date their return in ink, and file it by mail.

If you are the parent whose e-file has been rejected—- follow the steps above to file your own tax return that claims your child.

If it is any comfort, you (and your parents) are among many young tax filers who make this mistake. We will be seeing plenty of posts just like yours. And posts from the parents whose e-files were rejected....
