I accidentally filled client A name to client B and IRS already accepted the return. Will this affect client A return? Also how do I correct client B's filling? Clients are siblings with same addresses but differect SSN.

    Call the IRS on the IRS Practitioner Priority Line.

      @strongsilence If you get them on the phone, what would they do?

      The more I know the more I don’t know.

          For return already filed - amend income to match the name/SS# on the return

          For return not filed - change income to match the name/SS# on the return

            The clients TRUE name is a set of numbers. If you only screwed up the first name, that will likely not create a problem. Report back when you find out for sure.
