Time-saving Tip: If what you entered is correct and you continue to get a reject, you won't be able to e-file.

The next step I would suggest you take is that you request a transcript from the IRS for your 2019 Personal Income Tax Return. You can do this easily and with rather almost instantaneous results by going to the following link and follow the instructions provided by the IRS:
