My Tax Refund hasn't been deposited because of unmatched social security numbers. Why?

[LindaB1993]

Part of the IRS process for verifying tax return information is ensuring the Social Security Number (SSN) and name combination on the return matches the information in the Social Security Administration's database. A mismatch can significantly delay processing of your return.

The e-filing process checks for many of the most common errors, like a Social Security number/name mismatch.

The IRS expects the first EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards by the first week of March, if they chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with their tax return. ... So EITC /ACTC filers will not see an update to their refund status for several days after Feb. 15.
