Automatic Withdrawal

[Ksternberg54]

I chose to file electronically but it kept getting rejected. So I’m going to mail my return. I had already set up an automatic withdrawal from my bank account to pay my federal tax. Will this still go through? If so, it’s ok to just mail my forms?

Thank you.

Nothing you were setting up for automatic direct debit went through if you did not e-file successfully.   

Have you tried to fix your rejected return to re-file?

You received an email that we cannot see that tells you why your tax return was rejected.  

Some rejected returns can be fixed and re-filed.  Some have “un-fixable” reasons for the rejection and have to be mailed instead. What is the rejection code or rejection message? 

 If it was rejected for AGI—-be aware that many 2019 returns took so long for the IRS to process that your 2019 AGI might not be in the IRS system.   Try using zero instead.

If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.  The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.

Or—-if you filed as a “non-filer” just to get the stimulus check on a 2019 return, try using $1 as the AGI.

If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.

Thank you! The not filing taxes last year worked. Who knows? I was not looking forward to mailing my taxes this year. Thanks again.
