There are several different rejects that are related to the taxpayer, spouse, or dependent demographic details, including: 

• Name,

• SSN,

• Age,

• Date of Birth,

• Date of death (if applicable).

To troubleshoot one of these rejects, confirm that all data entered on the return is correct. Verify your entries with a federal or state issued document (driver's license, Social Security card, birth certificate, etc.).

• Taxpayer or spouse changes can be made on screen 1.

  Important  If you need to change the primary taxpayer's SSN (the number that was used to create the return), go to Tools > File Maintenance > Change ID Number on Return. See Drake Tax - Change SSN or EIN on Return for details.

• Changes for children or other dependents are made on screen 2.

The IRS e-file database is based on the Social Security Administration database. If the SSNs, names, and dates have been entered accurately, there may be an error in the Social Security Administration's (SSA) records. To correct any errors that may be present, the taxpayer can contact the SSA at 1-800-772-1213. Generally, the return will need to be paper-filed.

The following table lists some of the common rejects that result from a mismatch between the return entries and the SSA database:
