taxes and two last names

[Eri&Greg 5]

should we enter my wife's two last names when e filing or only one ? she's Latin and has two last names , father and mother no " - " separating the last names

more details below ;

because of the government shut down we missed out on getting a SSN card and had to wait for her EAD, then I made a mistake filling the AOS in her legal name and not married name.

so my wife has two last names, she's Colombian with her mother and fathers last name.

I called the IRS to see how we should input her name and the IRS says;

first phone call;

sir try different combinations with only one last name

went to the IRS office ;

and they said only input one last name and not both

called the irs again, I found a number for name formats division;

she said input exactly as shown on her SSN Card

has anyone had any issues entering both last names ( Latin ) when filing taxes ? or were you forced to only enter one when e filing

My wife is from Mexico, where everyone also has two last names (apellidos), which are separated by a space instead of a hyphen. My wife's Social Security card shows her two last names with a space between them (no hyphen), and that's how I enter them when I e-file our taxes. So far we've never had any problems with taxes.
