Number on Tax Form

Income tax refunds of 2,580 taxpayers in Virginia and five other states in the IRS MidAtlantic Region are being held up because Forms 1040 or 1040- A sent in does not contain an accurate Social Security Number. In some cases IRS will be able to verify the correct number from Social Security Administration records, but this will cause a delay in pr& .cessing the refund, James P, Boyle, IRS District Director for Virginia, said today. In other cases refunds will be delayed until the taxpayer has been contacted by IRS and has sent an an accurate Social Security number, he said. Correct numbers are necessary since this year all individual tax returns filed by Virginia Taxpayers are being processed by computers at the IRS Service Center in Philadelphia Pa. The Director reported to date other refunds are being held up because of a variety of other types of errors or failures to comply with the instructions mailed to each taxpayer with his tax forms. Tax returns filed up to last week included 7,598 without; the signature of the taxpayer or in case of a joint return with the signatures of both the husband and wife. These will have to be sent back to the taxpayers before refunds can be processed.
