SSA

How dumb is this? We got married in November. In December I went to the Social Security Administration to change S's name on her SS card. The new card arrived about a week later. Everthing should be peachy. I filed our taxes on Monday, and they were rejected because S's name and SS number doesn't match the IRS's records. To fix it, we have to call the SSA, check to see if they have the updated information, and then give them four weeks to send the info to the IRS.

It's a good thing I'm a little neurotic about getting taxes done early, but that's not the most irritating thing. I called the SSA to check on S's information, and they won't tell me anything. They can only tell her.

I can go to the SSA, and file a form to change my wife's name, but I can't call to make sure they sent that to the IRS. Is it me or is that really dumb?
