No, this was not a test, and no, i can't explain how it changed.
- Did your Social Security Number carry from a previous year?
- Is all of your other Personal Info correct?
- Did you successfully file your taxes last year?
- Did you get a refund?
- Is this a new tax return that you entered recently?
- Is all of your other Personal Info correct?
- Did you attempt to file this return?
- Is the Social Security Number close to your number?
This is unfortunate, but you did catch it.
