Please help! Accidentally submitted a Non-Filer form

[Milleran40]

I am desperate and have no idea where to turn for help. I accidentally submitted a Non-Filer form and need to delete that form and file my 2019 tax return instead so I can get my refund and stimulous money. I have no idea how to correct my error and appreciate any and all assistance.

if you reported as a non-filer, don't file yet

wait until July 15.

there's no point filing now because IRS will not process your paper tax return.

if no action file a request for extension of time to file.

wait some more.

shirley, everything that will be paid this year will go out by July 15th.

I did the same thing. I’m worried because I already submitted a non filer on accident that I now can’t efile. Should I already start doing a 1040X?

same!!! help!

Same here, please help.

I was trying to e-file my 2019 tax form, it turned out that "a tax return with the same Social Security number has already been submitted".

[Lissetponce]

Same! Did you receive any responses that would be helpful on what to do now? Will we still receive our stimulus check?

[Ning]

Not yet, couldn't get any info or help from the IRS these days.

if you are a taxpayer and file a tax return, it says right on the IRS page, for non-filers only

"Do NOT use this tool if you will be filing a 2019 return"

Now you will have to file a paper 2019 return via US Mail

I did the same thing on accident, so do we have to file through mail before july due date or after?

[Lissetponce]

Okay understandable, we will have to mail our 2019 tax return in July. But are we still going to get the stimulus check?

SAME!!!!!!!!! I accidentally did the same thing so i could get the economic relief and provide updated direct deposit. I just tried via a tax preperation and turbo and will not go though since its saying it duplicate return..... will update (glad but sad Im not the only)

[AABDEL29]

Yes. This was a mistake and it looks like I'm not alone. Seems like people that did not receive their stimulus checks yet frantically tried to update the IRS with their bank account information for direct deposit by using the non-filer return at https://www.freefilefillableforms.com/ in hope that it would result in processing the stimulus check to their banks and overlooked the disclaimer that the non-filer return was not meant for those that will file taxes for 2019 (including myself). The question now is, how to reverse this mistake? Do we now need to file a 1040X (for federal return) and IT-201X (for state return)? I am not so concerned about when we receive the refunds, but rather more concerned in regards to filing my 2019 taxes correctly and timely.

I attached a picture showing the status of my returns from turbotax where it shows my federal return pending and my state return printed (pdfed) and ready to mail.  While trying to efile it seems that the federal retrun went through electronically but 2019 NYS tax return could not be e-filed because there was a conflict where another return was e-filed under my social security number (assuming they are referring to the non-filer return).

Please provide guidance and assistance, thank you!

I am on the same boat, can't file now! What a messsssss

I made the same mistake and no one could help me, but i figured it out! Go to the non filer application site and press get started, then sign in and then press start over on the top right corner then it will ask you if you are ok with deleting everything and you press yes and then it will show that you never started anything. hope this helps!
