Michigan 830 reject code after amended W2.

[TayaRose]

I had to amend my taxes due to a forgotten/late w2. The amended form came back with the signature error 830. 

We had an issue in the Michigan Amended product for e-filing. The good news is that we have implemented a fix which will be available April 8, 2021. All you need to do is come back on or after April 8th (if you are a desktop user please download the lastest updates) and go back through your Michigan Amended return, and run through review. Proceed to the "File" tab to file your taxes. When you get to a screen titled "Your Michigan Signature" you must confirm your signature with paper form MI-8453, then continue to re-submit your return. However, if you do not want to wait until April 8th, you may file this return via U.S. Mail. To file your state return, print it and mail to the appropriate taxing authority.

I go through the steps and get to the signature page and here is where I get confused. Do I need to download MI-8453 somewhere mail it in, wait for it to get approved then continue with turbo tax? The error code is a bit confusing on what do to and how to get this form. Right now I get this message at the end "Duplicate Social Security Number: A tax return with the same Social Security number has already been submitted - in other words, it appears you're trying to e-file the same return twice. If you need to change this return, you'll need to file an amended return on paper, by mail."

Well duh of course there is a duplicate SSN I amended my taxes and need to sign it! The 830 code says nothing about having to resend all my taxes by mail. What the heck do I need to do here.

To get past this, run through the State interview again from the beginning. Look very carefully for any amend-related screens or questions either at the beginning or towards the end of the interview. Otherwise, you may need to delete the state and re-add it. This may require you to delete the extra W-2 initially before re-triggering the amendment. 

One way to see Form MI-8453 is to download the PDF. To do this in TurboTax, follow these steps:

• From the left menu, select Tax Home. Then, follow these steps:
• Scroll down to 2020 and Your tax returns & documents and Show.
• Navigate to the option to download the PDF of your return.
  • The forms are named in the top left and lower right hand corners of each page. 

This form is an authorization to e-file and is rarely if never required to be mailed. 

See this Michigan.gov link that states: 

If the MI-8453 is used to sign the e-file return and the return is e-filed by an individual taxpayer, the MI-8453 should be retained by the taxpayer.
Do not mail this form to the Michigan Department of Treasury unless requested to do so.

I am having the same issue.

You did not address/nor answer the questions asked. 

1) Can I? or why can't I? Re-file the amended return with the proper signature.

                 When trying to resubmit  I get this message at the end : "Duplicate Social Security Number: A tax                        return   with the same Social Security number has already been submitted - in other words, it 

                  appears you're trying to e-file the same return  twice. If you need to change this return, you'll need

                  to file an  amended return on paper, by mail."

2) "Do I need to download  MI-8453 ...... mail it in"?  Yes or No?

3)  Do I need to  send all my Michigan tax forms by mail.? or just the M-8453?

Good to see I'm not stupid. I have the same question.
