Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The only complete remedy at this point,  is to file a paper return via US Postal snail-mail and wait until at least June / July 15th for the IRS to process it.....

These are screen shots which explain in detail why this is your only option remaining.

You DO NOT file a 1040X Amended Return.

A 1040X is for FINANCIAL changes. It is NOT for this purpose of changing your filing status. 

To be factual.... nobody... not the IRS, not Turbo Tax, not a CPA.... nobody knows exactly what the best remedy for this situation is because the IRS has not published anything, which advises what to do, or what is the best course of action. But collectively, ..... mostly through trial and error..... the group in this thread has come up with these work-arounds, which hopefully will produce good results... eventually.

But know, that ALL of these work arounds require human interaction from the IRS. They aren't automated or electronic solutions. So all of these work-arounds will delay receiving tax-return monies, and Economic Stimulus monies, longer than would be the case had the non-filers 'blank' Form 1040 been sent in the first place. 

Just file your ACTUAL Form 1040 with either a cover letter explaining why you are submitting a paper return after having already filed a 'blank' erroneous initial e-file return.

OR

You can send a Form 14039 (as shown in the final image above) and attach it to the back of your paper Form 1040, as per the ACTUAL IRS instructions for the Form 14039.

Be sure to....

- include a color copy of your Drivers License or State issued ID card.

- sign and date the form

- attach it to the back of your 1040

- send it to the correct IRS address assigned to your ZipCode (available on the IRS web site)

This is critical because there are many IRS addresses. There are different addresses for different geographic locations, AND there are different addresses for people sending their return in with a PAYMENT enclosed, vs returns NOT with payments enclosed.
