My turbo tax e-file keeps getting rejected by IRS with error code F1040-525-03

Hello,

I read similar threads, and F1040-525-03 is related to tax payer's wrong birthday. In my case:

- I double checked everywhere, my birth date is correct. resubmit, and get same rejection again and again.

- my tax were always e-filed last a few years including last year, the year before, and before. all went through without problem, but were filed by my accountant Not turbo tax. so I can rule out that my DOB is wrong from SSA nor my info at IRS database is wrong.

- this is first time I started to use Turbo tax e-file.

I think it is more like Turbo Tax issue, Love to hear everyone' comments.

thx

J

If you've done what the IRS suggests in the above reference and had no success, then the easiest solution is to print and mail your tax return.

Since you have been unable to overcome the rejection, and cannot e-file, you will need to file your return by mail.   You say that you have checked your SSN and date of birth several times; have you looked to see what the accountant who prepared those past returns was entering----is it possible that the accountant was using some incorrect information that got into the IRS system?     Have you --in fact -- checked with the Social Security Administration to determine if there is an error in the system?

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

@jfzhang8866 And, of course----the other consideration for you at this point is that after October 15, 2024, e-filing for your 2023 tax return is going to close down anyway, so after that you will have no choice but to file by mail.   So---you might at well just mail it now, and sort out the SSN and date of birth issue before next year when you need to file again.
