I need to edit 2020n tax return that was rejected. I do not have the rejection code

The IRS rejected most e-filed tax return for the prior year AGI that was entered.  Since a 2020 tax return can no longer be e-filed the prior year AGI is not required.

 

Print, sign, date and mail the 2020 tax return to the IRS.  Include with the tax return any forms W-2 and 1099 which have taxes withheld on the form.

Go to this IRS website for the mailing address, by state, with or without a tax payment - https://www.irs.gov/filing/where-to-file-paper-tax-returns-with-or-without-a-payment

 

To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

 

Start the 2023 online tax return by entering some personal information then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.

 

On the Tax Home webpage -

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

 

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

A 2020 return cannot be e-filed.  It can only be filed by mail.  Mail it before April 15, or you forfeit your refund and will not receive it ever.  Most rejections were for AGI, which no longer matters since you only needed it for e-filing.  

 

You have to print, sign and mail your 2020 return.

 

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

 

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
