Changing a return after filed

Hi All

I changed numbers in a return because I thought I had filed an extension. Well, it turns out that I actually filed the return. How do I find out what the original filed return was? Do I need the 2848 and ask for a tax return transcript? Is there an easier way to get the transcript?

The client can create an online IRS account and request a tax return transcript.

Generally when you efile an extension youve left enough errors (since youve got missing information or youd be filing the return itself rather than an extension) that it wont let the actual return be filed...are you sure that's what happened?

Hi

Yes, they were sent on May 17 instead of an extension. The status says "Completed". I don't understand why the program isn't saying that numbers have changed since it was filed. Why isn't it saying that? I thought PS warned when numbers were changed from original filing. I added home office deductions. Thanks!

If they are an employee there is no deduction for home office expenses (except perhaps on the state return). Maybe that's why there is no change.

The more I know the more I don’t know.
