I have submitted information for my 2017 tax return and it came out saying "2018", and now I'm not receiving Financial aid for Dixie State University because they want 2017's tax return. How can you help me? I'm in desperate need.
WOW ... did you actually file the 2018 return with 2017 income on it ???
Big problem for you ... the other post has information on how to file the 2017 return.
But here we need to discuss the mess you have on your hands ...
1) when did you file the incorrect 2018 return ? Have you gotten the refund back yet ? Or does the IRS still have it processing ?
2) do you need to still file an 2018 return ?
