If my son amends his federal through efile will it automatically efile state for Georgia through TurboTax?
Also, once his amending process goes through to allow adding him as a dependent for
me to claim, can I amend my federal and state via efile or does it have to be done through snail mail. It would be for 2025 taxes. Thanks.
No, amending a federal return on TurboTax does not automatically e-file a Georgia state return.
Yes, once your son's amended return is accepted, you can then claim him as a dependent if he qualifies.
Hi John, thank you. Will I be able to amend my return through efile aftert my son’s amended return fully gets processed?
@user17714495370 Waiting for your son to amend his return will not help you e-file this year at all. Your choices are to file your return that claims him as a dependent by mail --- since mailed returns are not rejected. Or get an IP PIN to try to e-file. Either way, his amended return will take four or more months to be processed and will not be in the system in time for you to e-file.
GET IP pin in order to e-file if your dependent’s SSN was claimed on another return

Yes, you will be able to e-file your 2025 amendment through your TurboTax account once your son's amended return indicating that someone else can claim him has been fully processed.
