Return Rejected? Now What?

I filed the 2019 in July 14 of 2020. It was rejected and I didn't notice until a few days ago while looking for the stimulus. 

My reject code was IND-031-04. I'm not sure what this meant, but I don't think I entered the 'cents' amounts on my return, so after downloading the software, I corrected my income slots with the correct cents amount. I believe I may have done all the of the procedure, but there wasn't any real confirmation or anything. I'm still not 100% sure the 'cents' part in the income/deduction parts was the issue.

    The error is in reference to an incorrect 2018 AGI entered on the 2019 tax return so that it could be e-filed.  The 2018 AGI is not required on a mailed tax return.

     

    To access your current or prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

    Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

    A 2019 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.

     

    Print, sign, date and mail the tax return to the IRS.  Include with the mailed return any forms W-2 and 1099 which have taxes withheld.  Go to this IRS website for mailing addresses - https://www.irs.gov/filing/where-to-file-paper-tax-returns-with-or-without-a-payment

    There are no penalties for filing a tax return after the due date if filing for a tax refund or there are no taxes owed.

    And since your 2019 return was not filed on time you will need to enter 0 zero for the AGI to efile 2020.
