Return was rejected because my wife’s social security number had already been used.

Check and recheck the number you wrote down, then let your wife check it. Mine was rejected once last year for a simple typo that I failed to see even when I rechecked once.

I got the same notice, that the number had already been used. When I finally caught the typo, everything went smoothly.

I appreciate the suggestion very much, but this is confirmed. It was my wife's social security number that got it rejected. My wife has been in contact with the IRS, credit reporting agencies, and county sheriff's office. She had to put together a photo copy of her social security card, the business card from the officer with the case number, our tax return and some others stuff. What I'm hoping, is that someone else made a simple error with THEIR social security number, and not actually an identity theft thing.
