Code R0000-198:This return is ineligible to be filed electronically.

The IRS has determined that your tax return is not eligible for electronic filing. There is nothing you can do to correct this, you will have to print and mail your tax return.

Here is a TurboTax Help article that will tell you how to print and mail your return

Why can’t TurboTax tell me how to fix this? I didn’t do anything different than prior years when the irs accepted it. How can TurboTax review my return and say everything is ok to transmit, then IRS rejects it and TurboTax can’t tell me why?
