<prompt> Human: Hi all, So as the title says, I 23yrs old filed my taxes alone for the first time and I received a letter yesterday saying information from either your return or our record indicates the primary taxpayer is deceased. I used to be filed under my parents until this year. My mom called the accountant who said that this happened because I filed taxes for the first time. Is this true? I dont really believe him and its unsettling to receive a letter thinking Im deceased. How do I fix this?Edit: First off, thank you for the help everyone. Im taking work off tomorrow to get this done ASAP. Also, the jokes made me smile haha. Second of all, I disappeared from reddit for a few hours and come back to all these replies :pAssistant: Every year millions of people file for the first time and dont get told they are dead. Are you sure your SSN is valid? Are your parents immigrants?Human: I think so, how do I know if its invalid other than through this letter? I applied for a credit card a few weeks ago and it went through. I also used it for my fafsa applications and for school recently. And no they are not Assistant: Find your original Social Security card and double check it against the number you have memorizedHuman: Its the same number  <response>: Were you on a milk carton as a child?
