If my 2018 return was rejected and never amended could this interfere with the 2020 stimulus payment?

If your 2018 return was rejected and you did not follow up to fix it or mail it in, then it has never been filed at all--so the IRS has nothing for you for 2018. Get it into the mail ASAP.

You do not "amend" a return that has never been filed in the first place--but you might need to make corrections or additions. Do not click on anything that says "amend."

If you have any changes/corrections at all to make to your 2018 return, you now have to complete it using desktop software, which you must download to a full PC or Mac (not to a mobile device).

If you already paid for your online software you can ask customer support for a download of the desktop software.

They are available from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time Monday-Friday.

If you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late. If you owe tax due, then file and pay the amount due as shown on the Form 1040, but expect a bill later from the IRS for the penalty and interest you will owe. Only the IRS will calculate this—TurboTax will not calculate it.
