My 2017 taxes were rejected and I can't figure out why or what I need to do to refile and move forward.

Any rejection of an e-filed tax return either from the IRS or a State, you receive an email from TurboTax giving you the rejection code and a reason for the rejection. You will receive this email provided that you have the correct email address for your TurboTax account.

To access your current or prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show. Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

A 2017 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.

Print, sign, date and mail the tax return to the IRS. Include with the mailed return any forms W-2 and 1099 which have taxes withheld. Go to this IRS website for mailing addresses - https://www.irs.gov/filing/where-to-file-paper-tax-returns-with-or-without-a-payment

There are no penalties for filing a tax return after the due date if filing for a tax refund or there are no taxes owed.

You do not need the 2016 AGI for the 2017 tax return. That is only needed if you were e-filing the return and as stated you can only print and mail the 2017 tax return. E-filing is not available for any prior year tax return.
