changing a dependent on EIC

[petrier85]

I filed my taxes and  it put the wrong child in. It was supposed to be my other child. It put in the child who is supposed to be claimed by his father. How do I swap out the child with the other one? Will I get in trouble for putting in the wrong child and will I lose money or will it be even since I'm just switching him out with my other child that was not claimed?

Did you, the father, and the children all live together in 2025? If not, which parent did each child live with? Which child did you claim as a dependent? Which child did the father claim as a dependent? It will be easier to sort this out if you refer to the children by their first names.
