I submitted my Stimulus Registration info.....came back as denied today. The reason was: My wife filed as MFS, and when you are in this portal.....if you click MFS, it doesn't allow you to proceed. It tells you to switch to MFJ. But then if you speak to all the tax experts on this forum, they say file as SINGLE. I called TurboTax as well, paid the fee for help.....and was told even if your spouse filed as MFS, register in the stimulus as SINGLE.
Well, I did that. And it was denied by the IRS with a note that it was denied because my filing status of SINGLE did not match my wife's filing status of MFS. SHOCKING!!!!
So now what am I supposed to do? Seems my only option is to file state and federal taxes at $0 income......and wait the 16 weeks for an amended return? This system is horrible.......is this actually working for anyone?
