Clients kid filed for his refund but did not check the "Someone can claim you as a dependent."

Do I need to file an amended return for the kid?

[TaxGuyBill]

Yes, the kid needs to amend his tax return.

Whether you do it, the kid does it, or somebody else does it is up to the kid.

And the parents' return will need to be paper filed. It will take a long time for the amendment to get posted in the system.

Either that, or e-file without the kid and amend later?  And how much is he worth anyway -- $500 ?  Maybe just cut his allowance by the $3,200 he's trying to scam.
