I am in the same situation. Took me weeks of calling IRS to finally able to talk to an agent today. She said a lot of people are in the same boat. I've been working for over 30 years. Paying my tax & fill tax return. Did not realize my Social Security is coded "not valid for employment". Called the SSA office. The lady in the Social Security office told me to file a SS-5 form. But since their office is close, I have to mail my passport in to prove that I am an US citizen. She said it will take 7 to 9 weeks to make the change. Hopefully then it will update the IRS system.
P.S. I am glad there are people like Ms. Perez and that IRS lady (no name, just ID #) working in our government. At least now I can try to fix it...
