Question

I did not get a deduction for my 17 year old son who lives at home and goes to high school because he is 17. How can I amend this on already filed return?

If you did not get the $500 other dependent credit on line 19 of Form 1040 then you will need to amend your return and make sure your son is entered correctly as a dependent. Please be aware, there is no longer a exemption for dependents.

You might want to wait until your refund or payment is processed before amending your return. Please be aware that you can e-file your 2020 amended federal tax return, but most states require amendments to be printed and filed by mail. Please see FAQ How to amend a tax return for instructions.

Please see Where's My Amended Return? to check the status of your amended return.
