I have a really sore issue to discuss and hopefully there will be resolution for next tax season. This just happened this evening Oct. 17 to a very complex, voluminous tax return. I efiled the file on Oct. 14 or thereabouts with Ø diagnostic issues. The returns were accepted by Intuit.
Today, I received an efiling update which informed me that both the federal and state returns were rejected due to the need to attach a pdf form, specifically Form 1116 Schedule B. I duly attached the requisite pdf form and the diagnostics were still Ø errors. I then learned to my dismay that I CANNOT efile the corrected return since the original efiling was completed so that the client's SSN is "IDENTICAL to that of another return in the EFILE Homebase view which has been e-filed".
The hardcopy of this federal return itself is in excess of 200 pages so not being able to efile is quite inconvenient, to say the least.
There should be a way to get past this type of situation, albeit a fairly rare occurrence.
