Federal Return E filed and Rejected

pjwormuth — Sun, 14 Mar 2021 19:51:20 GMT

My Federal return was E filed as was my NY State return. My Fed was rejected (and subsequently so was my NYS filing because the Fed was rejected). The Fed return was rejected because ; the" 2019 AGI was stated incorrectly". I filed my taxes last year with Turbo Tax so to Turbo tax prefilled the amount for me in the 2020 return. When I got the rejection, I checked, and the amount shown on the return was CORRECT. I checked my digital file AND my paper file copy for 2019 to confirm this. So, I simply sent the returns again electronically. Now I'm in receipt of my SECOND refection. How do I fix this if the information is and was correct?

I am having the exact same issue and can't figure it out. I know my 2019 AGI number is correct.

I'm just going to mail my returns USPS snail mail with a copy of the first page of my 2019 filling with the AGI amount circled....

Did you try putting 0 as your AGI? I just re-filed using 0 on my federal return & it was ACCEPTED!

I forgot I was late filing in 2019, that's why I believe it was 0 by the way..

If you have your 2019 tax return, your AGI is on line 8b of the Form 1040. If you don't have 2019 available you can try to enter a zero. You can also request a transcript from the IRS Get an IRS Transcript.

Finally, the last resort is to mail your tax return. TurboTax will print an instruction sheet explaining where to mail the returns.

To mail your Individual Income Tax Return please review the following:

Completing your Return

Do not staple or attach your check, W-2s or any other documents to your return.
Submit proper documentation (schedules, statements and supporting documentation, including W-2s, other states’ tax returns, or necessary federal returns and schedules).
Use the correct form - forms differ by tax type and tax year. Look at the bottom of the form for the required pages to submit.
Double-check your return.
Review personal information (social security number (SSN), address, date of birth) on your return for each person listed
Sign your return.
Taxpayers must sign and date their returns
Both spouses must sign the joint return, even if there was only one income reported
Mail your return, payment, and all necessary documentation to the appropriate address listed on the return.

I had two of my kid's federal e-filed 2020 tax returns rejected. The rejection e-mail said "The primary taxpayer's AGI or Self-select PIN from last year does not match IRS records." I tried re-submitting several times. I could not figure out what was wrong and had to print the returns and mail them in. My third kid's return was accepted. Beats me.
