@Tracyfluker The IRS will not tell you if someone claimed you. However, if you say that no one can claim you, and your own e-file is rejected for a duplicate Social Security number, that is a big clue that somehow your SSN was put on a tax return by someone. If that happens, you cannot e-file. Print, sign and mail your own tax return and let the IRS sort out the duplicate use of the SSN.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
