A client's child filed a tax return not stating that they were a dependent. Trying to amend the child's return to show this change, while also filing the parent's return on paper indicating this error. The child's dollar amounts do not change at all so program is not registering the option for a 1040-X. How do I go about changing the child's return to allow this change on the parent's return?
You'll have to use the explanation area of the 1040X to show change youre reporting, but up at the top of page 2 of the 1040x you should see the change in exemptions, even if the dollar amounts dont change.
Personally, I'd input the original and amended figures in the column on the front page of the 1040X (just type them in, use override if you have to)...I had one kicked back as incomplete when I was amending but no dollar difference happened so the 1040x front page was empty.
