Filed wrong name for Client and IRS already accepted the return. HELP!

[LOVEKITKAT]

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-CPA If you get them on the phone, what would they do?

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

add notes to the taxpayer accounts about the errors.

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.
