Wrong Social Security Number

After I e-filed my tax return I reviewed a printout of my return and realized I entered one digit in my social security number incorrectly. What steps do I need to take to resolve this?

    Good news, the f-file was quickly rejected by both federal and state so I can make the correction and re-submit.

        Did the IRS reject your return? Did you receive any rejection code?

        The IRS did reject my return within 24 hours and I was able to make my correction and resubmit. I don't remember getting a rejection code.
