I'm having a bit of a tax return dilemma, so below is the order of events, please let me know what my mom should do next.
So I e-filed return on Jan 16th and it was accepted on Jan 24th.
-I filed single and that no one can claim me as a dependent.
-My mom e-filed on Jan 25th, and she put that she was head of household and could claim me as a dependent.
-Her return was rejected on Jan 27th because she cannot claim me if i already claimed myself, which is the case.
-So per the rejection instructions, her rejection email said that she would have to mail in her return with a note attached stating that her return is correct, and once I receive my return, I would have to amend mine.
-So my mom mailed off her return that same day Jan 27th.
-So a couple days pass, she is going over her info and realizes that I was correct in claiming myself and that my tax return is correct after all, and that she needs to file as single (not head of household) and NOT claim me as a dependent.
-So, with this realization, I dont have to amend anymore, my return can continue processing smooth sailing.
So my question is, what happens now with my moms return? what does she need to do as of now? She's been checking the "wheres my refund" checker but it appears they havent received her paper return yet. Should she just go ahead a efile the correct return? thank you
