My return keeps getting rejected because of my date of birth, but my date of birth is correct and it is also correct on my license. I do not understand why it keeps getting rejected and I don’t know what to do to fix it.

If your date of birth is correct, then you will need to call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 to verify that their records are correct. If SSA records are updated, it can take up to four weeks to transfer the updated information to the IRS. 

 

Wait four weeks, and then re-file the return. If the reject continues, or if you do not want to wait four weeks to re-file electronically, you may print and file this return by mail. Note: If SSA information is inaccurate and you do not call to correct the information, you will get the same reject next year.
