pikester1967 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Need suggestion on how to do the return heading and get it to clear for e-filing. LY Preparer filed it as First Name, MI. Last Name, A Minor ATX doesn't like the Last Name, A Minor portion. Suffix maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 The birthdate will tell the story. IRS looks at only the first four letters of the last name. Doesn't like punctuation, though, so toss the comma. I'd put First Initial Last. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Need suggestion on how to do the return heading and get it to clear for e-filing. LY Preparer filed it as First Name, MI. Last Name, A Minor ATX doesn't like the Last Name, A Minor portion. Suffix maybe? You don't need that ", A Minor" at all. Drop it, and your problem is solved. The IRS already knows, from SSA, how old the kid is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I agree with KC, I don't type "Michael J Smith an adult" on the returns. I take it back... I enter the name exactly the way it is written on the SS card or ITIN. If any of those document reads "an adult" on the full name, I will type it exactly the way it is written. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikester1967 Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 OK, Thanks everyone! Dropped it and clears the flag. Wanted to double check since LY preparer was an EA. Don't know about everyone else, but I'm ready for some food from the Spot in Sidney lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
