They don't match because TurboTax does not allow me to add a full name in the "middle initial" field and the IRS wants me to put the full name.
The IRS does not require a middle name on a federal tax return. Look again at your Form 1040, it only requires Your first name and middle initial and Last name
TurboTax as well as all other tax preparation software companies are bound by IRS requirements when completing a tax return. There is no IRS requirement to enter the Full Middle Name on a tax return.
If you entered on the tax return the exact same name and SSN as is on your Current SS card, then you need to contact the IRS to find out exactly what they are looking for concerning your name and Social Security number.
Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.
Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Then press 3 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.
