I amended my tax return and took my 18 year old daughter out because she wants to file separate. She has tried to file but keeps getting rejected. What can we do next?

We already received our return. We are waiting for the IRS to tell us how much we now owe them for what they gave us for her originally. But she is stuck with her filing.

Sorry an amended return won't clear her ssn from the IRS.  She will have to mail her return.  But you don't have a choice who can claim her.  Even if you don't claim her then on her return she still has to say she CAN be claimed.  What do you mean you are waiting for the IRS to tell you about the amending?  You have to file the amended return which won't be ready until later this month.  

 

It would be unusual for a 18 year old to not be your dependent.  You can claim her if she is under 19 or under 24 and a full time student no matter how much she makes.

Do you have to answer YES if you are a dependent but not being claimed

It happens because the IRS data still shown what your filed on your original return and your amended return wasn't accepted yet. It might take time.  Your daughter could receive her refund faster if she print and mail it to the IRS.
