My federal tax return e-filing keeps getting rejected by F1040-526-03, but all the information is correct.

Hi,

I'm using TurboTax Deluxe on Mac OS, and I'm keep getting the error below:

```

F1040-526-03 - If 'PINTypeCd' in the Return Header has the value "Self-Select On-Line" and the filing status of the return is married filing jointly and Form 1040, [ 'SpecialProcessingLiteralCd' and 'CombatZoneCd' and 'SpecialProcessingCodeTxt' and 'SpouseDeathDt' ] do not have values, then 'SpouseBirthDt' in the Return Header must match the e-File database.

```

I double checked SSN and DOB, but all the information is correct. Also, I guess SSA will have the correct information as well because I had no issue e-filing last year (not using TurboTax).

It seems like it's a bug on TurboTax side. How should I fix this?

You are correct, reject code F1040-526-03 because the date of birth entered by the spouse doesn't match date of birth information that the IRS has obtained from the Social Security Administration. 

If you have made sure that all information has been entered correctly, call the Social Security Administration (SSA) at (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 don't want to wait four weeks to re-file electronically, you may print and file this return by mail.

What is e-file reject F1040-526-03?
