Used TurboTax Premier desktop version to eFile Federal return and WI state return. After filing, realized that I should be claimed as dependent on parents' return (which hasn't been filed yet), and went through the process to eFile amended fed and state returns. WI return was accepted. Fed was rejected. Tried to go back into TurboTax to fix issues, but there was no indication of errors in the program. Refiling failed two more times. None of these errors make any sense. The values for EIC and estimated taxes are zero in all cases. I can't change values on the original 1040 form. I don't know if a "blank" is equivalent to having a zero in the form, but in any case I can't change them. The errors in the rejection email were:
IND-025-02 - If 'PINTypeCd' in the Return Header has the value "Self-Select On-Line" and 'PrimaryBirthDt' has a value, then 'PrimaryPriorYearAGIAmt' or 'PrimaryPriorYearPIN' or 'IdentityProtectionPIN' must have a value.
F1040X-013 - Form 1040-X, 'EarnedIncomeCreditAmt' in 'CorrectNumberOrAmountGrp' must be equal to the amended Form 1040, 'EarnedIncomeCreditAmt'.
F1040X-012-01 - Form 1040-X, 'EstimatedTaxPaymentsAmt' in 'CorrectNumberOrAmountGrp' must be equal to Form 1040, 'EstimatedTaxPaymentsAmt'.
I could print and mail the amended return. HOWEVER, this means that my parents' return can't be filed; it will be rejected because there will already be a record of my tax ID filed as independent.
Please provide instructions on how to eFile in our situation.
Thanks,
