IRS Name/SSN Mismatch Error - Return Rejected. Need help fixing!

This is a common issue with name changes. First, verify that your new SS card matches EXACTLY how you filed (including spaces, hyphens, middle names). If it matches, contact SSA to confirm the change is in their system - sometimes there's a delay in their database updates. You may need to wait a few weeks after receiving your new card before the IRS systems recognize the change.

Hey, instead of playing detective with your transcript, you should try taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes everything and tells you exactly what's wrong and how to fix it. It's only $1 and saved me hours of headache. https://taxr.ai

I had the same issue last year when I got married. Make sure your using your maiden name until SSA fully processes the change in there system.

stuck in the same boat rn. the whole system is a joke fr fr 🤡

Try checking your name on the Social Security Administration website. They have a tool that shows exactly how your name appears in their system.

idk if this helps but when I had this problem it was bc my birth certificate had my middle name spelled different than my ss card
