Rejected After E-file and 10/31 deadline lapsed

[kmcphe5454]

Hello,

I am latest ever filing my taxes due to some personal things that happened this year. I finally completed them this evening via e-file but they were rejected- unfortunately I expected this due to a known issue whenever I e-file due to a birthdate discrepancy that suddenly became a problem in 2020 out of nowhere after years of e-filing without issue. 
My question is, if this is the only error, can I simply MAIL in my downloaded return from doing it all online , or do I need to now purchase desktop software and re-submit it all to print and then mail? The latter doesn't make any sense to me.  However I want to ensure I retain all the max protections I normally have each year with Turbo tax and requested again this year as I filed (audit protection, expert assistance etc).  Any assistance is much appreciated- I'd love to get this in the mail and off of my mind after many months of worrying. 

Thank you,

Kari

Online tax preparation and e-filing for 2023 returns is now permanently closed.

Now it is too late to use online software or to e-file. If you have any changes/corrections at all to make to your 2023 return, you now have to complete it using desktop software, which you must download to a full PC or Mac  (not to a mobile device).Then you need to print, sign and mail it.

If you already paid for your online software you can ask customer support for a download of the desktop software.

They are available from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time Mon-Fri

If you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late.  If you owe tax due, then file and pay the amount due as shown on the Form 1040, but expect a bill later from the IRS for the penalty and interest you will owe.  Only the IRS will calculate this—TurboTax will not calculate it.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
