You will need to amend your return. Amended returns must be mailed to the IRS.

If, when you print your 1040X, "Do not file" is printed on it, that means the form is not ready and you must wait, probably until mid-February.

Here are the general instructions for amending a return. Unlike for prior years, you will be able to amend your 2016 return in TurboTax Online.

The father will have to mail his return to the IRS. Tell him to wait until after you have mailed your amended return.

So I send mine in do we have to wait until I get a letter from the irs saying they received my amended return and then he sends his in ? Or can I be right fter I send mine  in ? And will he still get his return fast

Suggest that he wait a couple of weeks after you mail your amended return before he e-files. His e-filed return will not be accepted until the IRS has recorded your amendment. Or, he can mail his return now. Either way, his refund will be delayed a month or so.
