8955-SSA duplicate filing

[wvbeachgirl]

Hello!

I recently made a duplicative 8955-SSA filing on the IRS' FIRE system in error.  The message that the system gives me is " . . . If your file was submitted in error (it was a duplicate filing), this file will not be passed forward to SSA, however you must notify IRS to close the file."  However, I cannot find any information on how exactly to notify the IRS to close the file.  Has anyone else had this happen, and if so how did you close the file with the IRS?

Thanks for your help!

I recently had to close 2 Form 1099-R filings since I forgot to check the "corrected" box.  I called the FIRE support at 1-866-455-7438 (phone number on the main page before going to the Main Menu).  The person I spoke with immediately closed the filing, which only took a few seconds.  Very painless, as I recall.
