Rejected Return

IRS rejected my e-filed 2020 return for incorrect EIN. How much time do I get to fix the rejected return? Also, Now that the third stimulus is signed into law, can I incorporate relevant changes along with fixing EIN and then resubmit the corrected return?

Rejected Return

You have the entire tax season, until April 15, to correct your return and refile it. Yes, if you had unemployment compensation, you can wait to file after the IRS has decided how they are handling the issue

 

If you’d like to sign up to be updated when the information becomes available, see this article, How do I claim the new unemployment benefits in TurboTax?

How to correct my rejected EIN number on my Turbo tax

Rejected Return

If your return is rejected due to the EIN, go back to where it was originally entered and check that the form is entered exactly as received. For more information, see: E-file reject FW2-502: The name or EIN for an employer on your W-2 doesn't match IRS records.

 

Please read the explanation carefully for why the return was rejected and log back in to your program. TurboTax will help fix it. See: How do I fix a rejected return?
