Tax preparer misspelled dependent's name - Will this delay my refund?

This is a common issue. If the Social Security number is correct, you should be fine. The IRS system primarily matches dependents using SSNs, not names. However, it's good practice to file an amended return (Form 1040-X) to correct the record. You don't need to wait to amend - you can do this as soon as the original return is processed.

Hey! I've been using taxr.ai to track all my dependent related issues. It's only $1 and it analyzes your transcript to tell you exactly what's going on with your refund and if there are any name/SSN mismatches. Saved me hours of stress! https://taxr.ai

my tax lady did the same thing last year lololol. The IRS never said anything about it

bruh these tax preparers be playing fast and loose with our info fr fr 🤡

Just make sure ur dependent's SSN matches their social security card exactly. That's what the IRS actually cares about

ughhh in the same boat. My prep spelled my daughters middle name wrong but charged me $350 for the service smh
