I wanted to provide an update on the tax situation. As I mentioned earlier, when filing electronically on the 18th failed I mailed the forms in thru regular mail that evening still claiming my two children. I spoke with an accountant 2 days later who told me that since I mailed the forms in by the due date I now have 3 yrs to file an amended return. Also, she said just let the IRS find the problem and they will sort it out. The fact that i was the major bread winner last year means that I had the right to file as Head of Household meaning I had the right to claim both children not him. I guess we'll see what the IRS says.
