🛠️ What to Do If a Dependent Is Rejected
Step 1: Verify the rejected dependent’s Social Security number
Use this when you need to confirm the dependent information is correct.
Verify the rejected dependents social security number with the social Security Card.
Step 2: If the information matches exactly, remove the dependent to e-file
Use this when the card information matches what was entered.
If the information matches exactly, the taxpayer must remove the dependent to be eligible to electronically file the return.
Step 3: If the taxpayer believes the reject is in error
Use this when you think the IRS e-File database may be incorrect.
If the taxpayer believes the reject is in error they can leave the rejected dependent listed on the return and mail a paper return.
Step 4: Contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) to correct records
Use this when the SSA records need to be updated.
The taxpayer can also contact the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 to correct the Social Security Administration records.
This process takes approximately two weeks for the information to be updated in the IRS e-File database.
