schirallicpa Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 And if you can file after the irs files substitute return for you, is it an amended return or a regular return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Yes, it's your only option to file a return and it is a regular return. If the IRS will give you an address, they have what they call a reprocessing unit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 I agree with Abby Normal. Your client should definitely file a Form 1040 because the statute of limitations on assessments hasn't started until a return is filed. An SFR doesn't constitute a filing, and the return your client files will be considered an original return filed for that year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max W Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Strangely, when filing a 1040 after being SFR'd, it shows up as "Amended Return" on the Account Transcript. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
