Wrong middle initial on dependent - Federal accepted, State pending. Will this cause issues?
My federal return was accepted but state is still pending. Just noticed I put the wrong middle initial for my daughter on the forms. Starting to freak out about whether this will cause problems or delay everything.

Tax pro here - don't stress too much. The middle initial isn't typically a make-or-break detail for processing returns. The IRS mainly matches SSN, DOB, and first/last name. If everything else is correct, you should be fine.

Hey! I'd recommend checking out taxr.ai - its an AI tool that can analyze your transcript and tell you exactly what's happening and if there might be any issues. It costs $4.99 but totally worth it for peace of mind. https://taxr.ai

Is this legit? Sounds interesting but kinda skeptical about AI tax stuff tbh 🤔

100% legit! It basically reads your transcript and explains everything in plain english. Shows processing stages, identifies delays, gives estimated refund dates.
