2006 Form 1040 returned

My original 2006 Form 1040 was returned to me from the Fresno Service Center with a note saying that because of an entry on Sch-A/Line-20 I need to include a Form 2106. In reviewing the Sch-A/Line-20 I find that it is incorrect, and that there should be *no* entry there. The entry should have been on Sch-A/Line-22. Prior to submitting the original return I had filed for an automatic extension and have a refund due. Since it was the entire *original* 2006 Form 1040 that was returned me, I am thinking that it has not been entered into the IRS system and that rather than submitting an amended return, I should replace the original return with a corrected return (from which I am still due a refund). If I am correct about this, how should I proceed? Should I return the original + corrected return in the envelope provide with an explaination note? Should I just discard the original and submit the corrected return to the same address that I submitted the original return (which is slightly different from the address on the return envelope provided)? Something else?

Thanks for any comments.

How in the heck did Fresno get ahold of it? Didn't you mail it to Atlanta? To the PO Box in Atlanta for refunds? T'is a puzzlement. When returned like this, there is usually a letter saying what the status is. If you see stamped on front of the 1040 a series of numbers, maybe... oh... 7, 8, or 9 digits or more, that means that it HAS been entered, and all they're waiting for is the form 2106. So you need send a corrected schedule A back with the original along with a letter pointing out what happened. ChEAr$, Harlan Lunsford, EA n LA

Thanks for the comments, Harlan. For simplicity and brevity, I described it as "my" return, but it was actually my mother-in-law's return. She lives in Colorado and had the return prepared by H&R Block and asked me to review it. Regards, Vic

section 4-1

1 DLN Composition

(1) The document locator number (DLN) is a controlled number assigned to every return or document input through the ADP system. The fourteenth (last) digit is the year of processing and is assigned by the Campus computer at the time of the original input. (2) The DLN is used to control, identify, and locate documents processed in the ADP system. (3) The DLN should not be confused with the tax account number, which consists of nine digits, for example:

Social Security Number XXX-XX-XXXX (IMF, IRAF)

IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number 9XX-(70-80)-XXXX (IMF)

Employer Identification Number XX-XXXXXXX (BMF, EPMF)

Note: A temporary SSN is sometimes assigned by the Campus. The first three digits (900-999 indicate the number is temporary. The 4th and 5th digits are the code of the Campus assigning the number. The last four digits are numbers assigned consecutively beginning with

0001. The printed format is TXXXXXXXXX* (The "T" Indicates a temporary SSN, and the asterisk (*) indicates the number is invalid.) (4) Returns and documents are blocked and filed by DLN.

(5) The format for a DLN is as follows:

28 2 10 105 600 25 4

FLC--Tax Class--Doc Code--Julian Date--Block Series--Serial #-- List Yr
