E-Filed and paid fees plus taxes by credit card, then the return was rejected - when I refile do I pay again?

[stephenjhaynes]

I filed my return and paid taxes by credit card during the process.  I received a notification of a payment charged to US Treasury for the taxes.  Then my return was rejected as my daughter incorrectly marked that she cannot be claimed as a dependent and I also claimed her as a dependent.

She then went and amended her return and re-filed electronically via Turbo Tax.  However if I refile it seems to want me to pay the taxes again as I don't need to amend the return as it was not accepted. However the payment seemed to go through.  The US Treasury tax payment and the related cc fee from Intuit are both currently showing as pending on my Credit Card account.

Is that right?

Q. Once my daughters amended return is accepted can I just re-file the same return? (or do I need to submit an amended return? (it as rejected so was never processed I assume)

Q. Do I need to pay the taxes and e-filing fees again in the process (i.e. will they be refunded from the original submission)?

Sorry but you will have to print and mail your return now even if she amends.  Once a ssn has been entered in the IRS you can't efile it again.  So you don't have to wait for her amended return to be processed.

Thanks - but what do I do about the credit card tax payment? (Also - she was able to amend hers and re-file the amended return on e-File.  Is that new?)
