One of mine that retired said, "You better quit when the cows can run faster than you can."

Found this at irs.gov, so maybe I've just not noticed a "superceding" box on ATX. And I learned to spell superseding. Thanks, again! "Additionally, a new, electronic checkbox has been added for Forms 1040/1040-SR, 1040-NR and 1040-SS/1040-PR to indicate that a superseding return is being filed electronically. A superseded return is one that is filed after the originally filed return but submitted before the due date, including extensions."

Ok, I'm thinking it thru better, Judy. Amend kid's to all parents' information? Then file kid's with kid's SSN when the dust settles?

It's actually a daughter, same last name as dad (and mom). I have both returns, parents' has been rejected, can't e-file parents, now, of course. Regarding superceeded. (Not an option for parents, as parents' return has not been filed yet.) That's just a 1040-X filed before the due date, correct? ATX has ability to e-file 1040-X, and dassit, as they say. Thanks, Ladies. At least both returns have small refunds, daughter will get hers, and I will offer parents a loan of refund amount until they receive refund in six to 48 months. They're sweet and won't accept it, but it's still embarrassing.

When you enter dad's SSN on kid's return and kid's return is e-filed and accepted, would you: 1) e-file kid's 1040-X changing the SSN, or 2) e-file kid's 1040-X leaving SSN of dad, but changing all data to zeros?

Thanks, everyone. I was in the laundry room for a while. No damage that I know of... I'm sure some trees were probably uprooted in the fence row, but all is well!

She did not live in the home two of the past five years. It is reported on 4797, correct.

I would fax a very short cover letter, the "agree in part," section, and the 1040-X to the fax number provided on the Notice CP2000. The one I'm looking at from December 2022 says at the bottom of first page to write "CP2000" on top of the 1040X and attach behind the rest. I would do exactly as they instruct on that one; it also happens to be the easiest thing for me, and I would think the most readily understood for everyone.

I believe each letter shows the total owed. I am looking at a CP22A that says under additional information: "Please note: Only pay the amount due once." I assume that would also be the way it works with the "you didn't make estimated payments like Rita has been hounding you to do" letters as well.

* Can't. I always proofread ten minutes after I hit sned.

They still can find a payment from a spouse with a flashlight and both hands.

Also hate doing the books for people who think running it thru the bank account converts a personal expense to a business expense.

Reminds me of one who couldn't figure out why they had a profit: "We just make enough to pay our bills."

I have two Sch C folks whose QB reports were worse to me than if they had brought a shoe box. I finally created a fill-in-the-blank organizer for them two years ago. They both act like I'm a rocket surgeon, and it's a pleasure (sort of) to prepare their returns now. Yep. I just entered the categories off Sch C, added a bunch of lines for assets purchased, date, cost. Assets sold, date, proceeds. And a separate page for vehicle information. People who don't understand accounting create trainwrecks with software. It's true. I give those organizers to virtually every business owner now; amazing that they think they're so helpful, and it's just putting the lines from the tax return on anything besides a tax return.

Agree with Tom. If you mean county property tax assessment value, that's not particularly accurate here.
