Problem: The IRS—not eFile.com—has rejected your return because the primary Social Security Number (SSN) cannot be the same the primary SSN on another IRS return filed for this tax year.
Solution: Let us help you turn this into an IRS acceptance. Sign into your eFile.com account and click Name and Address on the left side menu. Check the primary SSN and make the necessary correction to the the primary SSN. Save the changes, click "Continue," and follow the screen instruction to re-efile your federal and state returns for free. You can do this as many times as it takes to get accepted.
However, if you are certain you entered your primary SSN correctly, but you keep getting rejected anyway, PRINT your return(s)—IRS and State(s)—and MAIL it in on time. See printing and mailing instructions plus addresses based on your resident state.
After that, contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and/or State and discuss your tax return in more detail. If the IRS does not accept your return, because a return under your SSN has been accepted by the IRS ask yourself if you have already filed elsewhere.
