The name on your tax return should match the name you have on record with the Social Security Administration.

If you were married or divorced during the tax year, and changed your name, make sure that the name on your tax return matches the name registered with the Social Security Administration (SSA). If they do not match, your tax refund could be delayed.

You should also contact your payroll department and have your name changed as soon as possible.  But the wrong name on your W-2 or License will not affect your taxes.

If you have changed your name with the Social Security Administration and have a new SS card in our new name, you must file your tax with your new name.

You enter all your forms W-2 (including those with your former name) in your tax return. The IRS can identify you with your SSN.
