If what you originally entered is correct, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, a dependent that's already been claimed, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return. This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.    Additional reject instruction here. 

Sounds like something got stuck. You can try these things:   Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu. Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website. Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms. Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit." Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.   Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit. By clearing the cache or using Incognito mode, you force the browser to establish a brand-new, secure connection with the Intuit servers.

Appreciate the response. Ran out of time, so ended up purchasing another license for TurboTax Deluxe (With State). Was able to 're-transmit' the e-file for the correct tax-return after switching product-activation-code.

Yes, you should re-enter your credit card information to resubmit your tax return if it was rejected, but you likely do not need to worry about being double-charged. The First Payment Usually Drops Off: When a tax return is rejected by the IRS/State, the initial payment is typically not processed or settled, even if it appears as 'pending' on your credit card statement. Re-submission Requires New Payment Authorization: When you fix the errors and re-file, TurboTax treats it as a new submission and will ask for payment information again to process the filing. If necessary keep this information should you need it later to contact us, even though it would be unlikely.   Please use the link below to contact us regarding your questions.

A Clergy housing allowance is generally reported in Box 14 of Form W-2 and it is not included in Box 1,3 or 5. It is usually labeled "Housing Allowance" or "Parsonage".

Do not change your tax return until you read all the instructions. TurboTax needs to know the original numbers and the corrected numbers to provide the correct end results before you prepare it.   If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines.    You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed. You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return. Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected. You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment Amend a tax return for the current tax year   @georgeacrump

To find the bank information used for an IRS tax payment, log in to your IRS Online Account to view your payment history or download a tax transcript. Alternatively, check your filed tax return copy (or 'Filing Instructions' page) or review your personal bank statement for the ACH withdrawal. IRS Online Account: View your payment history to see which bank account was used. Tax Return Copy: Look at the 'Filing Instructions' or Federal Information Worksheet (Part V) in your tax software or paper return for direct debit details.

Don't make changes to your filed return until you are ready to AMEND.   delete the 1099-R so that your tax file is identical to what was ACCEPTED. Save a copy for your records.   Then issue AMEND command.   @georgeacrump  You can do that now, you don't have to wait.

I would wait for a couple of days. Even though things are done electronically, there may be a backlog in the IRS computers this time of year that may slow down the debiting process. I have seen this happen numerous times in the past.   Since your state was debited, you can be sure the IRS has the same information. If you are concerned about a late payment, don't be concerned. Your return was time-stamped when you sent it, so your payment is not in arrears.
