IDOC Fiasco :(

I just can’t believe this has happened and now I don’t know what to do…I have been frantically trying to get my taxes completed to upload everything to IDOC today. My CPA finally finished them today and I uploaded everything, under the wire. BUT…now that I’m looking very closely at them, I think the CPA made a giant mistake. :frowning: He only listed two exemptions, myself and my younger son, and did not include my older son for a third exemption! My older son just turned 18 about a month ago, he lives at home, and he will be a full-time college student next year, so I can’t imagine any reason why he would not be counted as an exemption for my household. (My ex husband has never claimed him, so that’s not the problem.) I really can’t think of any other logical explanation for this…I think the CPA must have just made a mistake. But a third exemption is going to change everything and require amending the whole tax return. And I’ve already uploaded the erroneous return to IDOC. I waited 30 minutes on hold to talk to IDOC customer service just now and then accidentally hung up on them right when they answered, I’m so flustered. And now they are closed. :frowning:

Any suggestions as to what I should do? Obviously I’ve got a call in to the CPA, but he won’t be able to fix it immediately, and of course there is no way to delete the incorrect files from IDOC. Ugh. :frowning:

Well I officially have a very nice CPA. He called me right back, and he DID make that giant mistake…but he immediately created a corrected return and faxed it to me. So I was able to upload the corrected file, with “CORRECTED” in the file name. Not a perfect solution, but at least the correct info is in there now. Whew!!!

good luck.

Just be prepared for IDOC to take awhile to process your documents.

Yes, they are already taking forever. But at least I got everything in by the deadline of March 2nd. :slight_smile:
