If the IRS social security number does not match the Social Security Administration's information, your tax return will be rejected. Call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 to verify their records.

If you verified that the info you entered is correct and you e-file again, the IRS e-file servers will almost certainly reject your return for the same reason. In this case, your only option is to paper-file (mail) your return.

Here is some other information about dependents and their social security numbers not matching:

im having the same issue and my information is correct, ridiculous. ive head rumors it may have something to do with the stimulus payments if someone else got those because they were claimed by someone else last year?

This message usually appears when the dependent has already been claimed on another tax return. For assistance, please see the TurboTax FAQ: What if somebody already claimed my dependent?

My son was born in November. We did not receive his SS# from the SSA until the beginning of February. I tried filing my taxes last week and it was rejected because of his SS#. How long does it take for the SSA and IRS to have the same information? I confirmed my son's SS# is correct in the return.
