Thanks for your feed back but actually there are a few  thoughts I have... When I file a return and the amount listed changes after the fact, that is not ON ME. Examples (at least so far this year) Lets say you are claiming Recovery Rebate for missing stimulus payment, double check all the facets and yep its good.  Upon filing the return the amount due or refunding is set, but wait the client received the EIP card what's that 2 days after filing,.  Yuck but when i re-open that return it claims Proseries detected a difference, what could it be? snarky it is that the system recognizes that EIP card was sent and rebate credit also claimed, creating a SNAFU.  Now they must send back cash in hand and assume the recovery rebate claimed is not delayed.) But any returns that went out before unenjoyment bill was passed also have changes listed in regards to UCE now entered on an already filed return.  But lastly and my personal favorite, with so many bits of info being able to red flag or cause a rejection, im just shocked that same thing occuring on returns I held on to to prevent the issue.  When filed the amount listed was correct as printed, provided and efiled.  Only after the fact when the already listed UCE is then AUTO populating to not just those been filed but also those going out door, I would think there could be a same tech into forbidding the presence of already listed info on a return. 

Even better it was when a client calls in after receiving a refund already that I realized the scope of this issue.  YES returns were filed with correct amounts listed and when opened now clearly indicate the double entry issue, yes 2 clients claimed recovery rebate on return and in same few days received payment or cards in mail, and yes the work around of listing the UCE on line 21 did not technically ever work since every one of those returns will need to be amended.  Not sure about returns from prior to bill passing also affected. In my State things are murky on those returns as well. Really as challenging as correcting these issues will be I am surprised that this bit of info wouldn't trigger a duplicate entry warning prior to processing. 

Solution I am not processing any more UNEnjOYMENT returns,  Its very strange that upon an update that the system knew the rebate was claimed and that payment also was sent(not activated). Real time information should be a 2 way street is all..... maybe in the future such Ideas can and will be implemented to increase effectiveness and productivity. Maybe not.
