JohnW222,
Thank you for your response; unfortunately, it is not the response I wanted to hear. So if I had efiled my return with my daughter as a dependent before she filed her own, would her return have been rejected?
I would think that an outfit as mature as Intuit could have worked this type of situation out with the IRS; they could at least advise people in advance that this can happen. Dependent kids have get part time jobs and may file their tax returns before their parents are able to do so, typically because the parents are waiting on other forms to arrive for more complex situations (waiting on a 1099-DIV was my delay).
Once again, I appreciate the fast response, but it really does not help me. My state tax return was rejected because my federal tax return was rejected due to the form 8801 bug; had that not happened, my federal return would have been filed before my daughter's tax return was filed. So am going through all of this nonsense for a problem which neither side (Turbo Tax or the IRS) is owning.
Now that I have to file my federal tax return via snail mail, I have to hold my state tax return in abeyance and wait quite some time until the federal tax return is accepted; in the meantime, the meter on the penalty on my state taxes will continue to run. Who is going to pay for that? (rhetorical question).
Turbo Tax software has really disappointed me this year; say goodbye to a former loyal user.
