Using the CD her return is not there.
I would like to just start a new return.
That's what I wanted to do, but someone else said no you have to use the rejected return. Now I'm more confused. I assume it did not e-file as my father is the primary on the return & passed away but when filing it asked for my mothers info & she was second on the return.
I would like to start over and put my mother first and try to e-file again with her info..
Do you know is this possible and if it doesn't work then mail?
Or should I just mail it the way it was before.
thank you for any help....
You do NOT need to use the rejected return ... a rejection is like the postman returning a letter as undeliverable nothing more. So just start a new file in the program. As to the choice to switch places on the return in the year of death ... it is not required but not forbidden although most will not so as to not confuse the IRS. Next year she will automatically be in first position. If the SS# is being rejected the return simply needs to be mailed in this year ... so anyway you want to get the return completed is just fine.
