Many people have reported their wages under a similar but different name, employers make a mistake reporting and mix the last name with the first names, people have alias names. People accidentally mix up their SSN. SSA has some amazing programs to fix these problems. If you want to know what you are talking about go to the SSA OIG website and read their reports fixing these problems is a huge but ongoing effort for SSA.

You're right the State doesn't care, the State is not responsible for SSN corrections they have absolutely no access to SSA information, you must contact SSA, they make corrections to your SSN record.

Yes the can be some variation in how the same name is reported

But when you walk in to a state tax board, ask for a print out of you w2 and have them hand you a computer print out with both your very own,very Anglo name and, and someones elses very Hispanic name, that has absolutely no similarly bween each other (it's no typo variation) and the two names are reporting employment and income in to completely different parts of the state at the same time.?.. It's not hard for the state to get a clue...

Add to it that the state employee didn't bat and eye and acknowledge up front that yes it look like an illegal was using my ssn, yea it's common, yea we know it and yea we don't do any thing about it and no there no state agency to report it to....

And that my only recourse was to contact the employer of the person using my SSN to complain to them.... but state was not allowed to tell me who that employer was..... well...
