Glitch in Form 7206

@DawnC Is that always true? I feel like I've seen situations where TurboTax itself wasn't giving any error but the IRS rejected the e-filing. One had to do with Form 8881 where people figured out they had to put a 0 on a certain line to get it to e-file even though the software wasn't telling them there was any problem without that 0. I would imagine that in many cases where e-filing fails for some reason, the person did do the TurboTax review and it passed. It's not as if every time e-filing fails, the person can just run an error check on TurboTax and find the solution, right? That's probably often why they post on this forum. If all e-filing failures had a corresponding TurboTax error, the answer in many of these threads would be as simple as "Check the TurboTax error" but that's not how it seems to work.

It is true that your return can be rejected even if it passes all of the TurboTax reviews. Often this will occur because of information the IRS has that you did not enter on your return though. For instance, if you claim a dependent that is already claimed on another tax return, the return is correct as far as TurboTax would know but the IRS would reject it.
