2021 E-filed Tax Submissions Rejected for AGI / Line 11 on 1040

[156church]

I recently e-filed my 2021 Federal and state income taxes and they were rejected for an incorrect 2020 AGI (line 11 on 1040).

I have checked line 11 in my 2020 Turbotax program, on the paper form I submitted and the amount imported by my 2021 Turbotax program. All are the same which is the number I submitted on my 2021 e-filed Turbotax.

I'm confused about why my 2021 e-filed submissions were rejected. How to find the number is acceptable?

Should I just mail my 2021 submissions to the Feds and state?

ENTER 0 FOR AGI. The IRS took a long time last year to process 2020 returns so the AGI didn't get entered in time.  Especially if you mailed it.  That works for most people. See,

If you can’t get it to efile you will have to print and mail it.

Be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

After entering $0 in the AGI field, I've received emails from [email address removed] stating that our Federal and State tax submissions have been accepted. In that the returns were due 10.15.22, is there any reason to mail paper submissions, just to make sure  they are submitted on time? I would hate to have the Feds or State come back and say my e-filed returns were late for some reason.

How can I confirm with the Feds and State that our returns have been received and accepted?

Ok ... first since 10/15 falls on a Saturday the last day to file is 10/17/22.  Next if your efile was accepted you do NOT need to mail in anything.   Save the email acceptance you got from TT and save a PDF of the return with the worksheets so you have the filing history report.  And lastly ... if you have a refund on the return the filing deadline means nothing to you.

The filing deadline for a 2021 return on which you had an extension is October 17, 2022---so you are not late.   And do not send in a second return.    You do not e-file and mail the same return or you will cause confusion and delays.

Did you e-file?  Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?  

https://www.irs.gov/refunds         

  Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?”

Note:  If it says “Ready to Mail” or “Printed” that means YOU have to mail it yourself.  TurboTax does not mail your tax return for you.
