My SO had to get a new SSN because his old one had the wrong DOB, it's the time for tax filing. Will he still be able to get his refund from 2018 with a new number?

Yes, he should be able to get his refund.  However, it may be a good idea to mail in the return.  Since for part of if not most of the year he worked under his old SSN, the W2s he received likely have his old SSN as well.  If this is the case, mail in the return and attach a statement with documents that back up exactly what you post here.  It may take a little while for the return to process, and the IRS may send correspondence, but in the end the IRS should be able to link your SOs income under his previous SSN to his revised SSN.

He is still waiting for his new one we had tried to file 3 weeks ago but it kept getting rejected so we went to the SS office and they told us his DOB didnt match his Birth certificate so we are waiting on his new one. So all of the year he worked is on his old SSN.
