husbands returns accepted, wifes returns rejected for SSN
I received the following rejection message when trying to e-file my wife's federal and state returns: spouse ssn in return must not be the same as primary ssn on another return filed for the same tax year. Both of my returns, federal and state, have already been accepted. I have carefully checked all forms for correct entries of ssn numbers and not found any errors. We both have only one state and residence income for last year. Last year, however, we filed married filing separately, as it was less of a tax bite. This year, we are filing married filing jointly as the new tax laws are much better for us. I'm retired, but my wife still works. I think I read that TT perhaps carries this info over incorrectly into this year? Do I need to wait until the 1040X comes out to amend my return so that hers can be accepted? (I am getting neither federal or state refunds this year) If someone can help, I would be most appreciative, Thanks so much!
