2019 tax return rejected - 8801 form update

[dshchmel]

You are not alone, the same happened with me just now, seems like promised update doesn't work

I posted this in another area. So lets try here.

Can you clarify if the return was rejected immediately or if it was accepted first and then subsequently rejected.

Thanks

I am having the same issue and have had my efile rejected twice.   When you click lets fix the error it doesn't take you anywhere to fix any issues.  I opened my federal back up and walked through all deduction sections and refiled, and again rejected.

How about Turbo Tax post an update if this is fixed, beyond an estimate of a March 5th release, as that obviously hasn't happened correctly.

10+ years using Turbo Tax and the last two years have been a mess....

Yesterday after getting the rejection notice with this error, I logged in and went through the flow again (with no changes), assuming that it was updated since it was March 5. But today it got rejected with the same error again. When I log in to turbotax it says "We are reviewing updates to Form 8801 Credit for Prior Year Minimum Tax. We expect to have the form update released by approximately March 5th, 2020." and there is a "Fix it now" button. (Same as yesterday.) This is rather confusing and misleading language, but I'm going to assume it means the updates aren't actually released yet and wait to see if something changes next week... It would be nice if they gave some more concrete and specific information!

Today, I've got rejection note in 34 min after submission

@SNA For me it was not accepted first, just pending (for at least 24 hours) and then rejected.

Same for me.  Submitted again after the update and my return was rejected after 2.5 hours.

Very frustrating!

Same here. Now I deleted form 8801, then reentered all of the information before resubmitting. We'll see if this makes a difference.

I got rejected once and followed the instruction to file again after re-typing the same info for amt on 3/5. Got rejected again this morning (after about 15 hours). I didn't see any 8801 form update, the rev date is still 03/02 at the bottom. It's very confusing.

I originally e-filed my federal taxes on March 4. After almost exactly 48 hours later (March 6) it was rejected with this problem. I checked for updates and there were some federal ones, but it didn't change what I owed. I went through the Form 8801 section and confirmed all the numbers and tried e-filing again. It's been almost an hour, no update yet...

EDIT: I did go back and look though and saw that my Form 8801 was rev 02/06/20 previously (when it was rejected), versus rev 03/03/20 now, so maybe it will be accepted this time?

I agree with the above. No update received, when resubmitted received the same rejection-form 8801 error.  Waiting for the correction.

Turbotax allowed me to submit the return electronically.  It was rejected by the IRS because of a problem with Form 8801.

Has anyone that has Forms 8801 and 6251 in their 2019 return and has recently efiled, have both their Federal and State return accepted?

[xinsamwan]

Hey All,

I called the support after second reject, they have no clue either.

And I submit the third time after revisit the AMT deduction again, it got accepted from Federal,

@xinsamwan  Did you do anything different for the 3rd submit compared to your 2nd submit?
