Question
E-file amended joint return with one spouse deceased
My first time for this. Original return e-filed with Taxpayer deceased, spouse still alive. Spouse received amended brokerage statement which causes more tax to be owed. Prepared amended return to be e-filed back in March 2024. The e-file bounced due to Social Security number locked by Social Security due to taxpayer being deceased. Error message state to wait 4-6 weeks to resolve then retry e-file. Just tried to e-file again and get the same message, now being 3 months after filing original return. Do I have to continue to wait or am I not able to e-file such a return? Thanks in advance!
