You needs full Windows or Mac computer to install the program on. Do you know why it Rejected? Do you need to fix something? Maybe you can download the pdf and just mail it now.
If you need to start over or can't install the Desktop program, You can fill out the blank forms for free.
Here are some blank forms & instructions for 2016

Don’t forget your state. And you will have to print and mail your returns. So be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them. You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places. Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.
If you need to start over or can't install the Desktop program, You can fill out the blank forms for free.

To complete and file a 2018 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2018 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/
A 2018 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.
