Sorry you can't use online for 2022 anymore.  Online is only for 2023.  You have to switch to the Desktop program now.  and it's too late to efile a prior year using Turbo Tax.  

 

How to finish a return you started online,

You will have to print and mail your returns.  So be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

 

Then when you file for 2023 you need to enter 0 for the 2022 AGI since you are filing 2022 late.

Oh did he file and claim himself?  So your return rejected?  Sorry you didn't need to wait for him to amend.  You should have gone ahead and mailed your return.  You wouldn't be able to efile even if he amended.  Once a ssn has been used you can't efile it again.

I have never filed yet. My son filed and claimed himself first but he amended later as “someone else can claim”. I waited for his amended approval. That was the reason I haven’t filed yet.

What didn't you understand on my posts?   You didn't need to wait to file for his amended return to be approved.  You should have just mailed your return claiming him on time, even before he amended.   If you return was done just print it out now and mail it.  Or you will have to finish in the Desktop installed program.
