How Many Rejections Are Too Many?

AlwaysSunny — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 09:52:01 GMT

How many times can I try to re-file my taxes? I've received several rejections because of an issue with TT software. I would like to know how many times I can try to troubleshoot this issue while anticipating even more rejections until TT fixes this issue. How many reactions are too many? Is there such thing as "too many" rejections or can I keep trying to re-file? Thank you.

You received an email that we cannot see that tells you why your tax return was rejected.

Some rejected returns can be fixed and re-filed. Some have “un-fixable” reasons for the rejection and have to be mailed instead. What is the rejection code or rejection message?

If it was rejected for AGI—-be aware that many 2021 returns took so long for the IRS to process that your 2021 AGI might not be in the IRS system. Try using zero instead.

If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year. The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.

If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.
