College son accidentally claimed himself

My full time college son accidentally  claimed himself when he did his taxes and we just realized it a day later. I know we need to amend his return when it’s able to be amended. How and when do I move forward with my return? Should I wait until he gets his refund? Can we still file electronically?

    Unfortunately you will need to file a paper return because there is no way to get around the e-file system once your dependent has already filed and claimed themselves.  Paper file with your dependent included on your return. His return will need to be amended.

     

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