I'm done with my taxes but it won't let me sign and file. Why not ?

To Add:  The following gives some reasons why you would not be able to e-file.

 

When a tax return can't be e-filed no matter what you do

 

Returns can't be e-filed if they:

Many nonresident and part-year state returns cannot be e-filed either, due to circumstances beyond our control (we'll let you know if your non- or part-year resident return must be paper-filed).

 

In addition, certain returns keep getting rejected because somebody already claimed a dependent on the return or because of incorrect information in the IRS database. In these cases, there's really nothing you can do to "fix" your return so you can e-file it. For this year at least, you'll need to file a paper return instead.

We cannot see your return, are you getting an error message?
