I went to claim my son and messed up on claiming him as my dependent and dont want to get into trouble for not having him on my w2s. I need to redo it please.

You do not get in trouble for not claiming your son, but you might miss out on tax credits.

If you have already filed your return then you will need to see if your return gets accepted or rejected before you can add your son on your return.

• If your return has been rejected by the IRS, all you will have to do is make the changes on your return and refile.
• If your return has been already accepted by the IRS, you will have to file an amended return (1040X) to make changes. But you might want to wait until your refund or payment is processed. The IRS will only accept amended returns via mail.

The 1040X form for 2019 hasn't been approved yet by IRS. Please, keep checking the following information below on how to amend your return; it will be updated once the 2019 form is released. Currently, the form is scheduled to be released on 02/20/2020.

Thank you so much. I just checked again and it was accepted, so I will do this form. This is the first time i have done this this year so I'm glad I'm able to redo it. Thank you so much!
