Ok, today I talked to PPL, to the ASFR, and to the Collections Unit. Situation is that client has not filed for 08 and 09 and the Service has prepared substitute returns. I should shortly after tax season have copies of the IRS Prepared returns and account transcripts and the necessary info from client's x about his 08 MFS return. PPL and ASFR talked to me about sending in returns which I took to mean original returns but they did not specify. Collections specified that I need to amend the service prepared returns. Who is right?

You don't amend an SFR (Substitute for Return), you file an orginal.Jiggers, EA -
and the reason for that, Ed, is that a SFR is a substitute and therefore not a return atall.Originally posted by Jiggers View Post

Last time I did one of these I had called into the IRS and they had a special address to send the return to and I was to write "FOR RECONSIDERATION" across the top. By the time the taxpayer came to me the IRS was threatening to place a lien on taxpayer's property, so that might vary depending on what stage of the collection process they're in?
The return was processed and taxes reduced no issue.Comment
