I received a "rejected" email when submitting my Federal Tax Return. Now Turbo Tax is saying I'm not eligible to e-file. What do I do?

Once you fix the problem, you should be able to efile. What was the reject for?

Same thing happened to me last night after years of successfully using Turbotax. TT said fix the error and resubmit. However it was because of missing IPPIN number which I never heard of. Looked at IRS online and said could take up to 21 days to get the info. There are two options: one is to send a paper return and supporting documents or file for an extension. I'm filing for an extension but I will do that by printing and sending the paper Form 4868 for an extension. I don't trust filing it online as it might be rejected too and today is the 15th.
