jmallard Posted March 2, 2016 Report Posted March 2, 2016 Hi, My daughter decided to file her own taxes this year (free on-line program), however, she entered the wrong address on the Form 1040A. The "free" program e-filed her 1040A and then wanted a fee to file her California return. That's when she came to me No problem from the FED e-filing, she has already received her refund to her bank account. I want to correct the address mistake on her California return. Do I need to amend her Fed return? Thanks. Jerry Quote
Catherine Posted March 2, 2016 Report Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Maybe this is a case for the "change of address" form 8822? In case any notices are sent out because those would go to CA. Edited March 3, 2016 by jklcpa correct form number 2 Quote
kcjenkins Posted March 3, 2016 Report Posted March 3, 2016 i agree with Cat, just basic good idea to file the 8822. 1 Quote
jmallard Posted March 4, 2016 Author Report Posted March 4, 2016 Elrod - Catherine & kcjenkins, Thanks very much for your information and advise. I just have one more question. Should I go ahead and paper file the California return so the Form 8822 can be included and print a copy of the Form 1040A (that I created separately) and indicate that the form is a copy for info only because it has already been e-filed ? Thanks. Jerry Quote
Elrod Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 If California has correct address......Go ahead and paper file, only it. If fed. efiled has wrong address........Just send Fed, form 8822 to IRS. 1 Quote
Pacun Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 Elrod is correct. Make the correction before efiling o paper filing CA and the efile or paper file it. Send the correct address to the IRS or move to that address, whichever is easier. 2 Quote
