Fixing an efiled return and resending it to the IRS

I e-filed a client return, and the client's birth date was incorrect.

Can Intuit edit the birth date and resend the return to the IRS?

Nope.  Unless it rejects, you cant get it back. 

DOB really only matters if it affects one of the credits on the return.  If that's the situation then an amended return would need to be filed.  Otherwise, just correct it moving forward.

The DOB on an efiled return can trigger an identity issue with the IRS.

I had a typo for this client in my file, and it triggered a 5071C notice.

After going online and completing all of the hurdles requested as per the notice, the clients were told to call the IRS - and you can guess how that is going.

Not even their local Taxpayer Advocate Offices are answering the phone…

You could try calling PPS with the client in your office.   Of course, PPS isn't always available.
