CA Efile

[J R Sandoval EA]

I efiled a federal and California tax returns; the federal was acknowledged but the state was not because someone had already efiled a CA return with that social security number; now that preparer who efiled that CA return also uses ATX. I have spoken with ATX and the California Efile center and no one seems to be able to help. I guess the best option for me would be to simply paper file that return and hope that the California Franchise Tax Board takes care of the issue. Has anyone had a similar issue? (By the way, California does not match ss# with names or checks the validity of a ss#)
