Seeing lots of rejections for dependent name/SSN mismatches that people know are correct.

But the earliest returns are always the cream of the crop.  Tough luck for those Turds, I mean Turdotaxers.

IRS having issues or is it on TT/Intuit end?

Not sure who's problem it is, I'm guessing its an IRS problem that cant match up name/SSNs for dependents. Or TurboTax isn't sending the right info (which sounds less likely) LOL

Haha!! Either sounds plausible. Good info tho. I had a couple calls from clients who wanted to make appts. I told them I’ll take the info but I cannot send until 28th at the earliest and most likely a few days after for bugs etc.....they are waiting.

Turdotaxers get in under a special test program to see if the IRS computers are working properly.  It's been an irritant to some of the preparers here for awhile.

"I just got a W2 that I forgot to include and I already filed my return, what do I do?" We get those clients occasionally, we call them "oh, by the way" clients

Its already happening in TurboTax...since they let people file before the season opens..... the returns they file already are sitting in queue at Intuit, they cant add or change anything unless IRS rejects them.

Why do amended returns take so long to complete processing?  THIS IS WHY - all these dummy DIYers that don't have their act together and file early without all their stuff and end up clogging up the amended return processing department. in Feb and March.

The IRS Hub or BETA testing runs from 1/15 thru 1/18/19 this year and most all software, except Intuit, participates. I haven't heard or seen any horror stories involving other Professional software but TurdoTax is at the mercy of the individual entering the data & is subject to many rejected returns. 

Personally, I didn't submit any returns early this year for obvious reasons, "Tax Reform". Not putting any of my clients in the guinea pig option.

Looks like preparers are just ranting and raving  🙂 .  I was going to ask if there was any other solution (than filing a paper return) for a name/SSN mismatch.  I have verified the accuracy with an enclosed 1099-SSA and by entering a phony W2 on BSO online (which I will delete).  I'm using 2019 Proseries.
