I just filed an amended return to include my wife and file jointly instead of separate. I just got an email that it was rejected but I can not figure out how to fix it. The home page does not give me the option to fix it, it just shows rejected.

what tax year and what was your filing status on your original return and that of your spouse if she filed?

if there was a reject code please provide it and any message

for 2024. I had filed in Jan 25 and filed separate and decided we needed to file jointly so that’s why the amendment.

Having the exact same issue, & the exact same amendment reason. Although our PIN was wrong, I have no way to fix the amendment & customer support is useless. Replying in case someone can actually help

Same... My state amended return was rejected with no option to fix it. Nothing works so far. @chestonriddle0246 any luck?

Okay so I figured it out. You actually have to click amend your taxes, then when it asks why you say my tax return got rejected & I need to fix it. It’s the last option. This must be a new way of going about things because I remember there just being a fix button. Hope this helps!

I was on the phone with customer service for almost 2 hours. and yet she didn't know how to fix it. useless support. i asked to speak with a senior tax expert to help me solve the problem, than i was connected to technical support who didn't know much about taxes. unbelievable uselesssupport.

If you were trying to Efile an Amended 2024 return, it may have rejected as it's too early for Efiling a 1040X for a prior year.

There's no rush to submit your Amended return. It takes at least 12 weeks to process, whether Efiled or Mailed, and since it's the middle of the 2025 filing season, may take longer.

You should get an Email saying why your return was rejected, and also when you Sign In you should be directed to 'Fix Your Return'. If you don't see either of these, it's probably for the reason I stated above.

You could try Efiling your Amendment later (April) or print and mail it now.

We amended 2025 return to change from married filing separately to married filing jointly. Our federal and CT state got rejected. There is no fix button and we can not identify why it was rejected. We went back to amend return and indicated that we are amending b/c it got rejection. BUT we have no clue what we are supposed to fix. We spent over 2hrs on phone with customer support who said "you just need to wait, it may because you entered the wrong AGI from 2024". We cant even find where to put AGI for 2024. Please help us find where we can find the reasons for rejection. Also, if we need to paper file how can we get a refund?

You filed your original return and it was rejected, so you amending, is that correct?

You do not do an amendment for a reject, you fix the reject and resubmit. If your original file was accepted and you want to make changes to that original file, then you would amend.

Can you clarify your situation?

My husband filed his return, it was accepted. We amended it to change from married filing separately to married filing jointly. The amendment was rejected. We can not find out why it was rejected.
