Question

Tax Return file twice

A client came to me after a friend helped him file his taxes, but the return was rejected. He then asked me to file on his behalf, which I did. However, his friend also resubmitted the return, and that one was accepted.

 

How should I handle this situation with the IRS? Should I call to clarify what happened? Could this cause any issues for me?

    The IRS will not accept two tax returns with the same SSN on them.  If the other return was already accepted by the IRS before you filed, the return you filed will be rejected.
