After you file

What tax year are you referring to here?  

 

Punctuation in the employer name sounds like a very unlikely reason for a rejection--so it would be interesting to know exactly what the rejection message said.

 

The IRS has not even begun to accept or reject 2024 e-files.  They will start doing that on January 29.   If your past year (2023?) return was rejected, the only way to file it now is by mail.  E-filing is permanently closed for 2023 returns.
