A friend recently took a shot at figuring her 2021 taxes manually and mailed the return. Unfortunately, almost everything on it was incorrect. I know a 1040-X is the way to make corrections, but is there any way the IRS will let me simply e-file a CORRECT 1040 for her?
I ask because TurboTax is making it very difficult to recreate her screwed up 1040. It keeps correcting entries and check boxes to what they SHOULD have been rather than what she entered. At this point, it looks like it will be easier to just do the whole thing on paper rather than attempting to recreate her errant 1040 in TurboTax, followed by a TurboTax 1040-X.
