How can I correct my ssn on my return?

If you have not filed your tax return, you can select "Personal Info" on the Tax Timeline then select "Edit" next to your name and change your Social Security Number on the next screen.


If you have already filed your tax return, you will need to wait until the IRS either Accepts or Rejects your tax return before updating your dependent information. Instructions on Amending your return can be found here: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/5567856


Most likely if you entered the incorrect Social Security Number on your tax return and you have already filed, the return will be rejected and you can update your information using the instructions above and then re-file the return.
