State tax filing
The reject e-mail has the reason and reject code - what did it say?

State tax filing
Look at the reject message contained in the notification. It should tell you the reason for the rejection. If you no longer have the e-mail, you can always check the e-file status of your return by clicking here: Check your e-file status
If you don't see a reason for the rejection, go ahead and transmit the return again. If you get the same rejection a second time and you see no mistakes on your return, select the file by mail option to paper-file your return. Sometimes, returns keep getting rejected even though there's nothing wrong with them (data mismatches, dependents already claimed, and so forth).
In these cases, we recommend paper-filing by mail rather than wasting additional time trying to "fix" something that is beyond your control.
