I entered a wrong number and I need to correct it. How is it done??

To fix a Social Security Number (SSN) in TurboTax before you file:

• Go to the My Info section 
• Continue through the screens until you see the SSN field and update it 

If you need to update:

• Your spouse’s SSN — you’ll be able to edit it on the next screen 
• A dependent’s SSN — click Edit next to their name and make the correction.

If your e-filed tax return was rejected for an incorrect SSN:

1.   Sign in to your account
2. Select "Fix my return" to identify the error code and reason
3. Correct the data (e.g., SSN, PIN, or AGI)
4. Go to the file section to resubmit.

For additional information, refer to the TurboTax articles Video: What to Do If Your Tax Return Is Rejected by the IRS and What does my rejected return code mean and how do I fix it?
