My son claimed himself as dependent and we amended it. It has processed 5/3. I just refiled and the IRS rejected it again for the same reason. Help

You have to print your tax return, sign it, and file it by mail. Even though your son amended his return, the IRS e-file database will not get updated to let you e-file your return this year.

Even though your son’s return has been amended, the system will not update soon enough for you to e-file your own 2018 return. You MUST print, sign and mail your own return. Attach any W-2’s or 1099’s that show tax withheld. Use a mailing service like certified mail or UPS so you can track it and know it got there.

it can take up to 4 months for the IRS to process and approve your son's return and update its database  until then, there is no sense refiling your return    don't efile - mail it.  

 

 

processing your son's return is just the first step, it must be approved which can take longer.
