Amended return question

Forum|Forum|1 year ago

My boyfriend and I live together and had a child in 2024. He makes more money than I do, so I had planned on him filing head of house and claiming our daughter as a dependent. I filed my taxes before his, and put her on my taxes as a non-dependent.. that was a mistake, as when I went to push his taxes through, they were not accepted for using her social more than once. I amended my taxes and removed her from my household entirely. My question is, do I need to wait until my amended taxes are accepted to file his taxes? Or can I do it before and his taxes will still be the same? I don’t want to mess his side up. Is this going to make his taxes take as long as my amended taxes?
Thanks in advance for any help on the subject!

He will need to file a paper return because there is no way to get around the e-file system once a return has been filed with a ssn.

This article will give instruction on how to print and mail your return.

Thank you so much for your reply!! Will this mess this his return in any way? Will he still be able to claim her fully like we had planned?

No, this will not mess up his return.
