Whaaaat?!! After wasting hours on and off during the past 3 weeks, submitting my son's Federal and Calif State taxes at least 10 times (no exaggeration) with different combinations of past AGI's and various PINs, it finally went through!! I must say, I'm suspicious, not totally convinced despite an email from the IRS that it was accepted. (Maybe another notice in a few hours from IRS that they were just kidding?) I did as you suggested, selecting that I "didn't file a return last year", the system autofilled a "0"and the Fed form was accepted. Just waiting now for the CA State form to signal it also was accepted.
THANK YOU, Thank you, thank you!!
