Transmission didn't go through: Ineligble for e-file?

The full message reads;

Your transmission didn't go through. Our records indicate that you are not entitled to efile one or more formsets.

 

I'm not sure how to fix this, there are no prompts or solutions available. I've already had to completely start over once, why is this happening and how do I get my return to submit properly?

Token no. 749308

 

I only have a W-2 and signed out and back in, still receiving above message after trying to file.

Is there anything I can do to either speed up this process/help further or get an update or eta on when to check back? My memory is a little unreliable and I don't want to forget to file or mess things up further unintentionally.
