I filed my daughter's taxes late for 2020 - she actually had a refund due to the stimulus money.
Since it was late, I had to file a paper return and send it in. It has still not been processed.
We did the 2021 taxes, and tried to file online, but it fails, since there is a security check to input the 2020 refund/tax amount.
She also receives a refund for 2021, but can't obtain it since it seems we can't file until the 2020 return in accepted.
Is there an acceptable work-around to the security check so that we can at least file the 2021 return? Should we just put in "0" for the 2020 tax due and proceed?
Any ideas on how to get the 2020 return processed?
Thank you.
