My wife has more than 20 characters in her last name. It is correct at IRS. What should I do? Print and mail? Thanks.

You don't have to print and mail your return due to your wife's last name having more characters. It's okay if not all of the characters in your wife's last name aren't included. The IRS only uses the first few characters of the last name to match up with your social security number to verify your identity.
