I just got a rejected client. It said dependent's SSN has already been filed. But not by me.

The kid's 21 and in college. What are the odds that he filed his own 1040 and claimed himself, thereby screwing his parents of e-filing and getting their refund quickly?

Amending his by paper, and filing the parents' by paper during the shutdown? Priceless.

Refund? Don't hold your breath.
