No one else can see it. It would have been in the email you received back when it was rejected. The most common reason for rejection is incorrect AGI, and/or having a Social Security that has either already been used on another tax return or that does not match IRS records. If any of those were the reason your return was rejected, then you should have printed, signed, and mailed your 2017 return. In fact, printing and mailing your 2017 return is now the ONLY way you can get it filed. E-filing is permanently closed for 2017 returns.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

My return was also rejected and I finally found out it was because of an incorrect AGI. You can create an account on irs.gov and it will let you take a look at your return history. That's what I did to find the correct AGI. For me I couldn't find a way back to the space to correct the problem so I thought just try to resend and see what happens. Well it took me right to the place I needed to correct! I'm not sure what you need to correct but when you get to irs.gov just put in what you need to find. Hope this helps.

@DebDoey- The poster was asking about a *2017* tax return. Since 2017 can not be e-filed any longer, the need for a AGI is moot since that is not required for a mailed 2017 tax return.
