Rejection due to dependent filing as primary

Good evening, 

I inadvertently electronically filed a 19 year old dependent as not being claim by parent.  Corrected by amending the return, which has been accepted; however, the parents return continues to be rejected.  How long does it take for the dependent's amend to get into the system so the parent's return can be filed electronically, or is there something else I should do?

Thank you,

Kim

Probably at least 6 months.

In my experience. it takes MONTHS.  As in six or more.

1) Parent's return goes on extension, hoping this clears up by October 15th.

2) Paper file the parent's return.

YMMV

BUT I don't anticipate things going faster, or more smoothly at the IRS in the next few months/years.
