The taxpayer's Social Security Number (SSN) has been listed as the spouse's SSN on another tax return filed as Married Filing Separately. Verify that the taxpayer's SSN is entered correctly.

Your mother's mistake has put your SSN into the system and you will be rejected when you try to e-file.    You can print, sign and date your own return and file it by mail or you can try getting an IP PIN in order to e-file.
