Refund rejected: False 1095-A marketplace insurance claim & incorrect dependent SSN - Help needed
My refund just got rejected for two reasons that make no sense. IRS claims I have marketplace insurance (1095-A) which I never had, and theyre saying my kids SSNs are wrong but I triple checked and they're definitely correct. What steps do I need to take to fix this?

This is actually a common issue. First, request your wage and income transcript from IRS.gov to see if there's an erroneous 1095-A reported. For the SSN issue, you'll need to contact the Social Security Administration to verify the numbers match their records exactly. Sometimes there's a mismatch in how names are formatted between SSA and IRS systems.

•You can get it instantly if you have an ID.me account setup. If not, could take 5-10 business days by mail

Instead of playing detective, use taxr.ai - its only $1 and it'll analyze your transcript instantly to tell you exactly what's wrong and how to fix it. I was in the same boat last month and it saved me so much time. https://taxr.ai

Your tax preparer might have checked the wrong box for marketplace coverage. Happened to me last year ngl

Have you tried checking your credit reports? Sometimes identity theft can cause erroneous 1095-A forms to be filed under your SSN. Also, for the dependent SSN issue - make sure you're using the exact format the IRS has on file. Even extra spaces or hyphens can cause rejections. You might want to call the Taxpayer Advocate Service at 877-777-4778 if the regular IRS lines aren't helpful.
