Cancelling 1040 Return after it was Accepted by IRS? somesnapperishe 02-02-2007

I sent a customers tax return, it was accepted by the IRS,
and one days later the client wanted to add a dependant.

I know for a fact that this cannot be stopped or cancelled,
her only option is a 1040-X (amendment).

I called our software provider and bank, they agreed with
me.

I called the IRS/checked the website but it was too soon to
get a status on the return or to be able to speak to
someone.

How else can I prove to the client that the return was
accepted and the only way to add a child is to file an
Amendment?

Is there any official IRS documents that state this? is
there a number we can call to verify?

I would like to help this client to my best abilities.

Thanks in advance

You are not correct. If another original return is filed on
or before the due date, it will replace the first one. After
the due date, a 1040X would be required.

It sounds like you are doing just that. You've already
received the acceptance notice, so file an amended return.
Any overage will be sent by check, I believe, because there
isn't a place on the 1040X to have direct deposit.

Well, they hired you to do their taxes and presumably trust
your judgement, so they should just take your word for it.
By now the return will surely have been accepted or
rejected. If rejected, you can add the dependent now and
re-submit. If accepted, tell them that they'll need to file
a 1040X. I would advise you to have them wait until the
current return has been fully processed before filing the
amended return.

Print the acknowledgment form (9325) for that return.
