Undo IRS Covid Non-filer to file 2019 Taxes

[LoveOceans]

How do I undo a non-filer return to file my 2019 return? The IRS website prompted me to input my bank account information using the "non filers" section for stimulus return. (I thought it would simply help update my banking information.) Now I'm stuck with the dilemma of a "duplicate SSN's filed" as I attempted to transmit my 2019 taxes using Turbo via e-file. Is there a way where I can get the non-filer rejected or undone so I can just e-file my 2019 taxes. The Turbo tax system won't let me amend my 2019 file because there is nothing to amend clearly. (First time doing my taxes this year.) I'm out of sources since the IRS hotline is not around and in need of desperate help. Please and Thank you!

Sorry, if you have officially told the IRS that you were not filing a tax return, and then you try to file a tax return, they view that as suspicious and reject it. You will have to print your return and file by mail.

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"

[LoveOceans]

Is there any directions or how to? How long does this process take? Do I just send the 1040 form as is or do I just use another form (the amend-x)? Where do I send the form also?

@fanfareIt's funny when I checked out the site today it's there all highlighted in bright yellow.. but trust me sir when the site first opened and I checked it out. The information was not as "BOLD" as it is now.

Start the file interview again and check the box for file by mail instead of e-filing. TurboTax will tell you to print your tax return, and I will also print a cover page with instructions. Follow the instructions on the cover page. You may need to attach your W-2 or certain other documents by stapling them to your tax return. Sign page 2 of the tax return in the box for your signature. Mail it to the IRS at the address on the instruction page. You may want to go to the post office and use tracking or certified mail so that you have proof of delivery.  Don’t forget that you will also need to sign and mail your state tax return, because you can only e-file a state tax return if you e-file your federal return at the same time.  

Normally, it takes 4 to 5 weeks to process emailed a return instead of 2 to 3 weeks for an e-file return. However, at this time, the IRS is not processing paper tax returns due to the coronavirus emergency so there will be a backlog and you should expect it will take significantly longer.

I feel like there are others and are possibly going to be much more who made the same mistake. You think the IRS would change the issue electronically? Or should I just get started in administrating physical copies.

is there any way you can send me the cover page of instructions for this? i was mistaken in filling out the info for the stimulus check and filed under non-filers... now my tax returns wont go through. There is no way to contact the IRS electronically to have them cancel that filing?

[SusanY1]

There is no way to file your return electronically after filing the non-filer submission, because that submission created a tax return entry for you, with all 0s on it and cannot be canceled.  For security purposes, only one electronic submission per tax year per taxpayer is allowed. 

You will need to print your return, and file by mail. 

You should attach an explanation to your return indicating that this is a correction of a 0 return previously filed, or attach a blank copy of Form 1040X (signed)  to the front of the return or make some other indication to let the IRS know that the return is intended to replace the original filing so that it is not rejected.

I did the same thing. I been looking for a answer all over and now I see I'm not the only one and out sucks because mailing we'll be back logged. I will have to pay150 fee before even printing. Which puts me in another dilemma.

You can't undo a non-filer form.  It was just as official as filing a tax return.  You will be blocked from e-filing your actual tax return so you will have to print it, sign it, and mail it to the IRS.
