    Rejected by whom?  IRS, State, Turbotax?  There must be a reason.

    Here's how you can fix it: 

    Sign in to your account and select the Fix my return button. Follow any “fix it” instructions to update the information causing the rejection. 

     

    Note: Not all rejections will have explicit guides to fix the information. You’ll need to navigate to the program area to address the cause of the rejection. 

     

    Time-saving Tip: If what you originally entered is correct, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, a dependent that's already been claimed, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return. This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.
