It's true. In 1999, the IRS mailed 2,400,000 women and told them that their name in their IRS records did not match their name in the social security records. This typically happens when a woman is born with one name and changes her name when she gets married.

If you are a woman who began to use a different name after marriage, you should go to the Social Security Administration and make sure that your name for income tax purposes is the same as your name on the social security rolls. If not, you may want to go through a legal name change to make the two names the same. If the two names are not the same (the social security records and the IRS records), then the taxpayer will be denied an income tax refund until the matter is resolved. You've been warned.
