She e-filed her 2021 Return on the 11th of April 2022. The IRS accepted her return the same day. My theory is, that there were program updates after the 11th with minor alterations of the necessary forms and that the IRS have accepted or corrected this because it did not change the final outcome. However comparing the pdf of the e-file and the pdf of the printed Return (created last December) did not give noticeable differences.
But TurboTax probably changed the status (in unfiled) because of an incomplete e-file. To avoid this possible risk with the next return my daughter will wait until the beginning of June with transferring her 2021 tax data information into TurboTax Premier 2022 (desktop version CD). The deadline for expats is June 15 2023. She does not know yet which of the 2 pdf-files to import. Thanks.
