I am sorry to bother but this is the most similar thread i have found.
essentially, we were in this situation in 2021.. with a few complications, but we did it wrong. we kepy my deceased father first, filed, payed, and are told we dont owe anything, but my mom needs to file.
we eventually were able to get mypath working but, asking how to proceed we were sort of just told for her to file.
my question is how best to proceed at this point? can we file a pa 40 with a bunch of 0s for her as we already claimed all of their income on the joint? do we file again or amended with the same numbers but the names reversed and some form that says we paid and transfer the money to her? its probably not as complicated as were making it but were just unsure how to best proceed.
there are probably more things that can be said but i think that is the most relevant i can remember. we need to file, im just not sure how to do it and dont want to cause more issues or pa thinking income was double it was or something.
(probably irrelevant, but minor complications was they were done as eventually filed, wrong it turns out, but mom got nervous because things were more complicated and after hours of trying to file an extension, i thought we had one for her, but there was a pin issue that came back, so the taxes were filed late, but the late fee and everything is paid)
