Get your taxes done using TurboTax
February? Why have you waited so long to ask? Most rejections are for incorrect AGI. When your return was rejected the email you received would have given you a rejection message or rejection code. But no matter why the return was rejected, the only way to file a 2020 return now is by mail. You need to print it, sign it and date it in ink on the line that says "Sign here", and mail it in. Expect it to take about six months or longer to be processed by the severely backlogged IRS.
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.
