Adoptive daughter name and social number changed can I amend my return with new info

  • How long do I have to wait to amend my tax return after my adopted child’s social number and name changed through the social security office. Will the irs have her new name and social in there
  • My adoptive daughters biological father illegally claimed her on taxes so I had to file through the mail which it’s been 12 weeks and they still haven’t even opened it. I finally just recieved her new social security number connected to her new name. Can I now amend or efile with her new social number and name and have it go through . How long will it take social security to update the irs to have her social and name connected in the irs system ? 
    thank you

Until the IRS processes the original return you can to NOTHING ... and even after it is processed you will NOT amend it for that situation.  Next tax year you will simply use the new name and SS# on your return. 

 

Now it is possible that they will not accept the return with the old name/number if the new one has been issued but you will have to wait and see.  Only if they remove the child on the file return will you be able or need to amend it.
