IRS Notice IR-2022-130

I have a tax return that we are attempting to e file an amendment for. The amendment is for a change of dependent that was claimed on another tax return in error. According to this notice from the IRS, they said that they would allow e-filing of an amended return even if a dependent was claimed on another tax return. We attempted to e file this return yesterday and this is the response on the rejection letter.

 

Error Detail:
'DependentSSN' in 'DependentDetail' on the return was used as a Dependent SSN on a
previously filed tax return for the same tax period.


Error Resolution:
This reject frequently occurs when the dependent's SSN on this tax return was present as
a dependent on another tax return, or the dependent already filed a return without
indicating they would be claimed as a dependent on another return.

 

Anyone have any insight on this new notice from the IRS and does it work with e-filing through ProSeries?

The other return needs to be amended and clear the system before you can e-file the amended return you are trying to process.  It takes awhile --------- a long while for that other return to be cleared up.

The other return has not and will not be amended as the person purposefully claimed a dependent when they should not have. How I am reading the notice, that should not matter unless I am comprehending it differently.

Unless the other return has been amended to remove the dependent, you wont be able to EF this return. IRS wont electronically accept 2 different returns with the same dependent claimed.

I'm not sure how to interpret that part of the IRS statement.  You MIGHT be right that it would be able to be e-filed with the IRS. I think we have been able to submit a dependent after the prior submission was 'cleared' for quite a while, which would support the interpretation that you are right and this new statement means we can submit a duplicate before the dependent is 'cleared'.  But I'm not sure. 

However, that last time I checked, Intuit also had their own rejection for duplicate taxpayers submitted through them.  So it is possible that even if the IRS were to be able to accept the e-file, that Intuit might be rejecting it before they sent it to the IRS.  But again, I don't know for sure.

I heard Drake has a way to force through a filing with a Dependent that has been claimed on another return...maybe as an "imperfect" return (that seems to stick in the back of my brain)? I dont use Drake, so Im only going by what Ive seen mentioned in other tax groups.
