Are you able to E-File an amended return to change dependents. Client claimed wrong child on original return. When replacing with correct child the amount of refund does not change. When I attempted E-File it stated since there was no refund or amount due difference from original return it would not accept it. Is there a way around this or does it have to be mailed in?

If this was caught when another party tried to claim the child, it might be better to have them claim the one you client didn't claim. Sounds like they are doing some switching back and forth, and if they have to wait for your client's amended return to process to free up the dependent, it might be a while.
The above comment is dependent on "there being no change to either return regardless of which dependent child is claimed."
Some times it makes sense to do things the expedient way, so long as you are not changing the tax amount of either party.

Unfortunately each child has a different father.

I removed the original dependent in the info works and added the correct one. On page two it lists the correct (new) dependent I added. I did fill out the explanation. My error detail reads: If Form 1040X 'total payments less overpayment amount' is not equal to total tax amount in correct number or amount group then at least one of the following must have a non zero value, [owed amount or net overpayment amount or refund amount or applied estimate amount]

@Just-Lisa-Now- Or maybe decrease withholding by $1, so it doesn't look like an effort to profit from a mistake.
