IRS tax filing rejection

My client's tax return was rejected because his daughter's social security number was supposedly used on an earlier tax return. Is there an IRS telephone number to call for help with this? If not, what is the best way to resolve this problem? All the social security numbers on the return I filed are correct. Any assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

You have 2 options.

Have the taxpayer on the parents return apply for an IPPIN.  Once you have that, their return will be accepted with the child on it.

OR

Paper file, be sure to include the 8948 with the rejection message..

You're wasting time trying to call anyone about this, you wont get any information.

The taxpayer went through the long process and got a PIN and has since had his tax return accepted.
