If it's rejected because the social security numbers didn't match, I don't think you should have to amend, just correct the number and resubmit your tax return. That's why it's not registering as filed.

If your first original return was rejected then it wasn't filed. You do not amend. Just fix it and resend it. Go through the File tab again. But you might need to undo or delete the amended return you started.

Thanks, it was kind of confusing that turbotax provided the amend button as the first choice on reject.
