Taxes are getting rejected because I have too many characters on my name. But if I don’t put my whole name, it doesn’t work because it won’t match my SSN. What can I do ?

The IRS should not reject because the characters cutoff. It is not uncommon for last names to exceed the character count, but the IRS identifies with social security numbers and just the first four letters of your last name.  Therefore, a truncated name should not cause any issues.
