I forgot to enter my 1099 social security information will this screw up my returns?

Will my returns be rejected?

Not including your Form SSA-1099 will not cause your return to be rejected.

However, a Form SSA-1099 can have an impact on your taxes depending on what other income you are reporting on your return.  Eventually, the IRS will look to match this information to your return and will send you a notice if it should have been included.

I recommend that you wait and see if the IRS Accepts or Rejects your Tax Return. 

• If the IRS Rejects your return, you will be able to add your Form SSA-1099 and make any other needed changes and then resubmit the return.

• If the IRS Accepts your return, then you will need to wait until the IRS fully processes your return and you receive your refund. Then you will need to Amend your Tax Return by filing Form 1040-X to include the Form SSA-1099.  You can click here for instructions on Amending your tax return: How to Change a Tax Return You Already Filed. 
• If you find that Form SSA-1099 does not have an impact on your taxes once walking through the Amendment process, then you do not need to file the Amendment.
