Possible Cause 1: The taxpayer has an IP PIN and it is not included on the return.

Resolution: Enter the taxpayer's IP PIN on the tax return.

If the taxpayer cannot obtain their IP Pin then their return must be paper filed.

Possible Cause 2: The taxpayer's information is entered incorrectly and the IRS system thinks it is a different person (double-check the SSN, name, and birthday).

Resolution: Correct the taxpayer's information, resign, and resubmit.
