What to do if I put the wrong social security number?

If you have already filed, your return will most likely get rejected if your Social Security number and last name do not match what the IRS has on their records. 

If you have NOT filed yet, follow these steps to fix the Social Security number:

  • Log into your return and click orange Take me to my return button
  • Click Personal Info tab and then Edit next to your name (or the name of person that needs a change) and correct social there

NOTE:  If you have filed already and it gets rejected, go here https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901491 and those are the steps you will need to take to fix the return
