It is a moving target between the federal and the state systems and sometimes things we have done to work around situations change. We have long used similar workarounds for military families with spouses in different states of record. The state tax systems query the IRS if there is an accepted return because if the federal is rejected, it is likely information will change and that will impact the state. Without that system there would be many, many state amendments.
