    If you have not yet submitted your tax return, you can follow the instructions below on how to fix your social security number:

    1. Sign in to your Turbo Tax account.
    2. Navigate to the My Info section
    3. Click 'Edit' next to your name and change your Social Security Number on the next screen.

    If you have already e-filed or mailed the return, then you will need to wait until the IRS has accepted or rejected that return before you can make any changes. 

    • If they reject it, then you can make the needed changes and re-submit the return.  How do I fix a rejected return?

    • If they accept it, then you will need to wait until you have received your refund, if applicable, and then amend that return to make changes, if needed. Amended returns have to be printed and mailed in and take up to 16 weeks to be processed.   

    If accepted, wait until you have received your refund or taxes due paid, then you can go here for instructions on amending your return.

    If you need to change your ssn or  a dependent's ssn go to My Info and change it under there.
