It’s not anything you mentioned. My filing status has nothing to do with her tax return not going through. She no longer qualifies as our dependent because she worked while in school full time.Her SSN is not on anyone else’s tax return.
She had a simple tax return. She worked. She had college expenses. That’s it.
The message box that popped up while I was trying to submit hers return was this “ The submission is a duplicate of one that was previously received”. That can’t be true because I had not submitted ANY returns for ANYBODY before hers.
Then it went on to say “ A federal return that matches this state return could not be found. The IRS requires that all linked state returns be filed after or in conjunction with the federal return. Please verify that your federal return has been e-filed and has not been rejected by the IRS”.
That implies I was JUST submitting the state return. Not true. I was submitting BOTH. I even went back and tried about a half dozen times over the last 3 days and I get the same message. I have been e-filing with TurboTax since 1998. Before that I used the software and mailed it in. Before that I used paper and pen and a calculator. Lol I’m no newbie to doing taxes or using TurboTax.
I even went back and tried to submit kits the federal to see what would happen. I hit the “This submission is a duplicate of one that was previously received.”
So how can they have no record of her federal return being submitted AND YET it’s a duplicate of one they previously received? Thats’s impossible.
The filing status shows nothing has been submitted. I called TurboTax and she said nothing was submitted. She said it was a software issue.
I stopped trying to submit hers, finished up MY taxes and it went through without a hit hitch so how could it be a software glitch if it worked for my taxes?
i think it was a transmission glitch. Technology does glitch.
TurboTax said to contact the seller. I doubt they will do anything. They told me to mail hers in. Nope. My 2023 tax return was mailed in TWICE and is missing in action, TWICE. And both times it was signed for by the recipient. No one will help me. I am reluctant to mail them anything anymore. My returns probably got dumped in the woods between the post office and the IRS building. 🤣
Turbotax said they would send me a form to fill out to get reimbursed for the state filing fee she paid.
I am going to go online and have her make an Intuit ID and use their free software and see if that works. If not I guess I will be forced to mail it in. Ugh.
Maybe this is like THE FLASH tv show, and a portal opened when lightning struck and her return was submitted in an alternate universe and that’s why it’s showing as a duplicate but also shows it’s not filed here. The IRS connected in every universe because the IRS is gonna get their money no matter WHERE you are. You can’t hide from them. Yep. That it for sure. Makes total sense. 🤣🤣🤣
