Yes, it is possible to be locked out by the IRS for efiling after multiple attempts.
Some recourses say 5 times, but it is unclear.
The IRS also requires you use a Social Security number rather than a former ITIN.
My advice is to wait a bit to give the Social Security Administration time to let the IRS know that a Social Security Number has been issued. Of course, wait no later than April 15th.
If the efile is still not going through, you may need to mail.
Has the spouse with the ITIN always been listed first, as the primary taxpayer on the returns you have filed previously?
Do you, as the spouse of the "former ITIN Taxpayer", have a Social Security number?
Have you filed previously as the primary taxpayer?
