Janitor Bob Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 This past April 2011, I e-filed an extension for a deceased client. Now I have transmitted his 1040 return electronically and I received a reject stating that his SSN has been used on another return. I verified the SSN is correct and spoke with surviving daughter (executor)....she states that to her knowledge, nobody has filed a return for him....that is why she came to me. Client passed away in December 2010, so he would not have filed before death. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I just have the daughter paper-file?

Jack from Ohio Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Several possible reasons for your rejection. All reasons are solved by paper filing the return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfling Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I also had one with that exact error message. Client died March of 2010. MFJ return for 2009 cleared without a hitch a few weeks after death. But 2010 return hit a wall in March of this year with the error report stating his SSN was used on another return. Called IRS and was told to paper file. Spouse is still waiting for refund. Told over and over that it is in review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Way back when I was at HRB, they told us we could efile if deceased the year prior to filing/same year as tax return but not if deceased in the year filing/after the tax return year. Don't know why. Seems like the SSA computers would have the DOD immediately, especially if receiving SS benefits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
