federal efile was rejected. should we include the 1099 SSA along with W2 and 1099R?

What was the reject code?

When you ask about including the SSA-1099, does this mean that you intend to paperfile? In that case, you attach copies of any form that has your withholding on it.

Rejected based on 2018 AGI for my spouse not being recognized. I talked to IRS twice, got a transcript for double verification. AGI amount submitted was correct. IRS recommended to file by mail. My concern is :

Can I still file my CA state return by efile since TT has already charged me for it?

Yes, you can still Electronically File your California State Return even if your Federal return was rejected for the incorrect AGI.

Please note, that this would not be true if your Federal Refund/Amount Due changed, as this would effect your State Return.

if you provide us with the rejection message including the code, we may be able to help you correct the problem an file. if you are due a refund efiling usually produces a refund in 2-3 weeks. mailing results in a refund in 6-8 weeks after the IRS receives it

I e-filed thru TT. I assumed that TT would receive the code since you helped me identify the issue which was :
IND-031-04: primary taxpayers AGI or self PIN from 2018 does not match. I talked to your hotline thern talked to IRS directly. resubmitted same confirmed AGI , still didn't work. IRS recognized the issue and recommended I file my mail. I'm just concerned that I already paid for CA efiling thru TT and looking for esolution how to file my state tax., hopefully thru efiling.

No, if both of your returns were rejected, and you were unable to correct the matter in TurboTax, you should mail both your federal and state returns. Your credit card is only charged when your return has been accepted.

To file a paper return, go back through the File section, choosing to file a paper return for both your federal and state return. The instructions on where to mail your returns will be printed out with the returns.

I am sorry you are having to go through all this.
