I e-filed my 2024 return and it was rejected by the Feds. How do I get back into it to make corrections?

Here's how you can fix it: 

Sign in to your account and select the Fix my return button. Follow any “fix it” instructions to update the information causing the rejection. 

 

Note: Not all rejections will have explicit guides to fix the information. You’ll need to navigate to the program area to address the cause of the rejection. 

 

Time-saving Tip: If what you originally entered is correct, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, a dependent that's already been claimed, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return. This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.

I can't seem to get to the "Fix It" spot.  When I sign in, it shows me my return but just the final copy.  Other attempts to sign in just go to the initial info screen as if I haven't bought the product already.  Can you possibly send me a screen shot of where I find the FIX MY RETURN button?

If you can't find the Fix my return ‌button, you can try:

 

  • Going to your Tax home 
  • Select Need to add something else?. - Search for Fix my return

What does my rejected return code mean and how do I fix it?
