The most common errors are related to Name, Social Security Number and Employer's ID.
Double check, names, social security numbers, and Employer's ID to make sure they are correct.
One of the easier e-file rejections to fix is the names reported on your tax forms. When you e-file, the IRS will check to ensure that your name matches the Social Security number (SSN) reported on the form. Therefore, you should always check your return for typos to avoid this type of e-file rejection. Moreover, if you file a joint return, you need to make sure that the SSN you report is for the primary taxpayer. For example, if you list your spouse as the primary taxpayer but use your SSN on all tax forms, you may encounter an e-file rejection since the name won’t match the SSN.
Another frequent mismatch occurs when there is a name change due to marriage or divorce. If you change your last name, you need to notify the Social Security Administration to get your SSN reassigned to your new name, or risk your e-file being rejected. If you aren’t able to get your SSN reassigned before preparing your taxes, you can avoid an e-file rejection by simply using the name that currently matches the number on your Social Security card, even if it is not the name you are using regularly.
