Most states (CA being one...) don't cross reference social security numbers.

That's an IRS --> Social Security Admin function.

You should still (probably?) amend the NJ return to correct the issue, but I doubt the return is going to be rejected. But them there right coast states do things differently. 😀

My thinking is that it will be rejected. Not because NJ cross-check the SSN but because NJ is a piggyback state (unlike CA, which is a Standalone) that must pass through the IRS and the IRS should catch the mismatch.

Was the Federal return accepted?

What if it wasn’t rejected and was accepted by the state despite having the wrong social, should an attempt be made to correct even though there were no implications, wasn’t rejected and still received refund.

If it has the wrong SSN, why would there be no implication? How would the IRS know that your client had filed a return, let alone complete and accurate, if they matched the return to someone else's records?
