My tax return keeps getting rejected I think it’s because I never filed for an extension my taxes are done ready to send how do I file extension now??

[Critter-3]

You cannot file an extension any longer and is not a reason for the rejection.   What is the exact rejection message or  code ? 

[Opus 17]

If you never applied for the extension, you are just late.  You can't ask for an extension after the deadline.  However, by itself, that will not cause a rejection.  A rejection means something on your return doesn't pass the basic level of IRS quality check, maybe the spelling of a name, or a social security number, or a missing form.  If you can't solve the problem by adjusting your return based on the error message, you will just have to print your return, sign it, and mail it in.

The e-file rejection has nothing to do with not requesting an extension, for which you are too late.

You received an email that we cannot see that tells you why your tax return was rejected.  

Some rejected returns can be fixed and re-filed.  Some have “un-fixable” reasons for the rejection and have to be mailed instead. What is the rejection code or rejection message? 

 If it was rejected for AGI—-be aware that many 2021 returns took so long for the IRS to process that your 2021 AGI might not be in the IRS system.   Try using zero instead.

If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.  The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.

If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.
