Eli Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Fredazcpa. I have one just like that as well. I'd never had that problem before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WmMorris Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'll be e-filing one as soon as I get the 8879 back. I'll post any problems I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WmMorris Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 The one I transmitted yesterday was accepted today. Good luck on yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 It used to be possible to efile if DOD was during the tax year, guess SSA updates their information; but NOT if DOD was this calendar year AFTER the tax year you're filing, SSA not updated yet or something like that. But, your issue sounds like the DOD was just missing and needed to be included before retransmitting. Let us know. We never know when we'll have to file one of these.

Lion EA Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Now, that's good to know. Interesting. When a baby is born during the year, don't we have to use 12 to tell the software the baby lived with the parents for all of the months it was alive, even if less than 12? Or, are we supposed to use the actual number of months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredazcpa Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Lion Now you bring poltics to tax law (LOL), your real questions is when does life beging accroding to IRS at least 9 months prior, therefore the use of 12 months on a new born, and before anyone jumps about those Oct thru Dec, yes I understand, its just that the IRS doesn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Even without getting into when a baby becomes a person, the fact that the IRS treats those that are born during a year differently from those that die during a year is a pain to explain. And, then there's adoptions. Or, what about an immigrant who can actually CHOOSE whether to be taxed as if a resident for the entire year?! If they couldn't make uniform work for Uniform Definition of a Child, we have no hope when adding all other ages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
