If you have already e-filed your return, then you will need to wait until the IRS has either accepted or rejected that return before you can amend it to make any changes. If they reject it, then just make the needed changes and re-submit the return. If accepted, and you are expecting a refund, wait until you have received your refund, then you can go here and get instructions for amending that return. Amended returns have to be printed and mailed in and take up to 16 weeks to be processed. When you begin the amended return process, you'll change the way you answered the question in the Personal Info section about whether you can be claimed as someone else’s dependent.

Question

I need to amend my return because I can be claimed by someone else and stated I couldn't. Where do I put that on the amended form?
