Waiting for IRS to process my daughter's amended income tax to file mine

Before April 15th 2022, I filed my daughter's income tax without checking "Someone can claim: You as a dependent" checkbox. Since I claimed my daughter as a dependent in my income tax, my income tax was rejected. I amended my daughter's income tax to check "Someone can claim: You as a dependent" checkbox. Till today, the IRS did not process my daughter's amended tax.

Should I mail my daughter's amended income tax and my income tax together to the IRS?

What are my options to file my income tax?

No!  You don't have to wait since you have to mail your return this year, even if she amends hers.  Do not mail her amended with yours.  You didn't have to wait at all.

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.

Thank you.

 

Do you know how the IRS will know  that my income tax is 'dependent' on my daughter's amended tax?

you'll have to mail in the returns due to the nature of the error you made. there is no way to correct this and allow you to efile. mail separately. personally, I think mailing two returns together is a bad idea. use a method where you can track that they've been received.
