What is the most common mistake that causes a rejection by the IRS?
If you made a mistake in entering the Social Security Number, incorrect Last Name or Date of Birth for you or anyone entered in your return, it will cause your return to reject. Further, the IRS Reject Codes may reflect a problem with a Social Security Number only. However, the rejection noted by the IRS may not be an incorrect Social Security Number, but rather an incorrect Last Name or Date of Birth. If the information entered is correct and your return rejected, contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. For general information about e-file, refer to Tax Topic 252, Electronic Filing.
