After you file
@chantelpayton20 If your e-file was rejected because someone already used your Social Security number on a 2021 tax return, then you can still file your tax return but you must file it by mail. You cannot get past an IRS rejection for a duplicate Social Security number. Mail your return and let the IRS sort out the problem.
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.
