Tax return rejected because college credit was claimed twice.

My son filed as an independent before I had a chance to file my own taxes. Today, my taxes were rejected because he claimed himself, we amended his return and he has been charged the college expenses credits he claimed for himself because he is now my dependent and cannot claim them. The amended form was accepted. A couple minutes ago I tried to refile my taxes and this time got rejected for college credit claimed twice. My son is paying back the credit he was given for this , what am I doing wrong? What can I do. I have never messed up on my taxes so I am just lost. If we amended his form and I can claim him as a dependent and he is being charged for the credit why can’t I take this deduction now. submitted by /u/Round_Reindeer_8038 [link] [comments]
