Enter the first 20 letters of your last name (no hyphens, spaces, Jr.s, Sr.s, etc.) and leave the rest off. This will not affect your tax calculation or your ability to e-file.

 

The IRS uses your SSN (or ITIN) and the first 4 or 5 letters of your last name to keep track of and process your return.
