Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Your only remedy is to print, sign and date your return in ink and mail it in. Waiting for his amended return to be processed will not help you to e-file this year. His SSN is in the system for the year now. It will be many months before the IRS removes the duplicate use of his SSN.
This is a very common experience for parents of students and young adults who are filing first tax returns.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
