Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Your return being rejected is the same as if you never tried to file it in the first place. 

The IRS has never seen your 2020 Tax Return, it was never transmitted because of the Social Security number mismatch for the dependent on your return. 

 

The IRS has no record of the return you attempted to file. 

 

The bill for the third stimulus has not been signed, but all indications are that it will be based on the 2019 tax return if you have not yet filed for 2020.

If this is true, and you do not successfully e-file your 2020 return, it will be based on your 2019 return. 

 

According to CBS News:

“If a taxpayer doesn't file their 2020 tax returns before the bill is signed into law, the agency will likely rely on their 2019 tax return to calculate their stimulus check payment — and that 2019 return might not reflect income losses during last year's economic crisis or a new child, for example. In that case, a taxpayer might not receive as much stimulus money as they are entitled to.”
