Why would a state tax be rejected?

Identity theft and tax fraud are two of the most concerning reasons for a rejected tax return. If someone uses your SSN to fraudulently file a tax return and claim a refund, your tax return could get rejected because your SSN was already used to file a return.

Can you get a tax refund with ITIN?

The Individual Tax Identification Number, or ITIN, allows taxpayers who don’t have a Social Security Number (SSN) to file income tax returns. Having an ITIN number won’t make you eligible for benefits, such as Social Security or earned income credits that provide refunds to some low-income filers.

Do you need an ITIN to file a tax return?
