 I e-filed my federal return and it has been accepted. Then I
realized that I did not enter a dependent and want to refile
the return with this correction. Is there anyway to do this
- electronically or paper return?

Yes, Form 1040X by paper and you have until 4-15-09 to do
it. The IRS can't accept e-filed 1040X's yet. They keep
saying "someday".

You can amend your return on Form 1040X. However all amended
returns must be filed on paper.

Use Form 1040-X.

During training for 2005 tax prep, TaxAide volunteers were
advised to _only_ file 1040-X on paper. You will have to
provide a copy of your modified 1040 (both page 1 and 2) to
reflect the dependent information and the revised exemption
deductions and calculations of tax due. Just attach them to
the 1040-X.

Of course, you will refer to the revisions when filling out
1040-X, since you should explain each change by reference to
the line where figures have been revised. (This should be
done in part 2.)

There is no need for a revised 1040. All the necessary
information is self-contained in the amended return.
