The reject code IND-517-01 typically indicates that there is a mismatch between the name and the Social Security Number (SSN) provided on a tax return and the information that the IRS has on file. This could be due to a simple mistake, such as transposing digits in the SSN, or it could be a sign of identity theft or fraud.
If you received this reject code, you should review the information on your tax return to ensure that all of the personal information, including your name and SSN, are correct. If you find an error, correct it and resubmit your return. If you cannot find an error, you should contact the IRS to verify the information they have on file and determine if any further action is necessary.
To resolve the issue, you may need to provide documentation such as a copy of your Social Security card, birth certificate or other proof of identity to the IRS. You can contact the IRS directly for assistance, or you can work with a tax professional who can help you navigate the process.
