My spouse passed away last year. Efile got rejected with TT saying Social Security Admin had locked his SS#. TT does not tell you how to fix it except call SS Admin. I switched me as primary and spouse as second taxpayer on the 1040. REJECTED BY IRS AGAIN !! I called SS Admin in Birmingham first, & they never heard of such a thing. They advised to call local SS office in Houston. Did that. They neve heard of a SS# being "LOCKED" either ! SocSecurity agent checked spouse's SS # and it was "normal" for a deceased person. THREE hours wasted ! Not to mention the stress! And now I read here that this is caused by a GLITCH in TurboTax ??? Been using TurboTax probably at least 20 years but this will be my last time, folks. There should be no reason we can't efile. Everything's the same on our return as last year but for a little $ difference and my spouse has passed. No more TurboTax.
