Wish to file a superseding return.

Already filed a return for client.  I'm told I have till May 17th to file a superseded return.

How should I do this- E-file or Paper?

I will need to label it as a superseded return.  I don't think ProSeries Basic allows me to label the return.

Is the only option Paper?

I know the IRS does NOT like to have 2 returns for the same individual in one season. Did that once and got a peaceful nasty letter stating not to do that ... to amend any return roughly atleast 2 weeks after the original one..  An amendment is just what it sounds like .. correcting or adding to an original..  and YES if need by you can amend an amendment with a new one.    Just remember, must give time inbetween so they have been put in the system and processed before amending.

Sorry.  I forgot the most critical element with my client.

I originally filed MFJ and now wish to file a superseded return as MFS.

Can I still do it by May 17th?

Is my only option a paper return since I have to label it as a superseded return and Proseries Basic doesn't give you an option to label a return this way.

Print and mail, use a black pen to write SUPERSEDED across the top.
