Hello Viviankar:
Without being able to review your account, it’s difficult for us to know the reason why our software has flagged an error with your date of birth. You are correct in that the IRS will compare the birth date you enter on your tax return with the birth date on your Social Security card, and if they don’t match, your tax return will likely be rejected.
Our software will flag a date of birth as “invalid” if the taxpayer has not entered their date of birth in the proper format. For example, the taxpayer must enter two numbers for the month (for example 01 for January or 10 for October) followed by two numbers for the day (for example 01 for the first day of the month and 22 for the twenty-second day of the month) and four numbers for the birth year (for example 1985 or 2000). Double check that you have entered your date of birth in the proper format.
If your account is still being flagged for an error in your date of birth, contact our support staff for assistance.0
