State officials say many of the Iowans who’ve already turned in their tax forms have messed up their Social Security numbers. The mailing labels on Iowa income tax returns used to include Social Security numbers, but no more. This year, Iowans must print their Social Security number on the form themselves. Renee Mulvey of the Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance says putting the wrong Social Security number — or no number at all on the form will delay processing.Mulvey says there’s another problem — created by the mailing label itself, as when you stick it on the form — it covers up the Social Security number.Mulvey doesn’t know how many of the returns they’ve already received lack the right social security number.
