No one on this forum would know why your stimulus submission was rejected.
Are you being claimed as a dependent? Was there a message on the email you received?
It just said print the form and mail it to the IRS. All I receive for income is child support from my ex husband. I put how much I get a year from that as my AGI. I'm not sure what else I need to do besides send whatever paper I need to send them.

Child support is not income and you should not have entered that on a tax return.
Appears that you will have to print and mail the form to the IRS.
My stimulus submission was rejected when I was entering the required info to have the money direct deposited. I already did my taxes for 2019 with another company. When it asked me for my AGI, it wanted my 2018 AGI. I thought that was weird, but I put the 2018 AGI anyway and submitted thinking it was ok. The portal is not allowing me to resubmit and is instructing me to print, adjust some info, and mail to the IRS. I have no problem doing this, but will my deposit be delayed? Why did turbotax assume i didnt do my 2019 taxes and ask for my 2018 AGI?
Thx for your time.
@BeezKneez TurboTax has no way to know that you have already filed a 2019 tax return. Since the IRS had already accepted your 2019 tax return, this submission was rejected by the IRS.
If you changed your direct deposit information then mail the forms to the IRS as directed.
I suspect the 2018 info requirement is a fraud check.... only you would know that number.
i also wonder if the requirement to print is another fraud check (they don't want people guessing at the inputs which could be a red flag that there is fraud occuring)
Mine also was rejected. I don’t understand why. I’ve been a stay at home mom since 2017. So I’m just going to mail mine in and hope it doesn’t get lost in paperwork or delayed. So unfair.
I filed married with my husband on his taxes but I tried to change it for my stimulus check to go to my account because were getting divorced now. But it got rejected
@Destinylwood - we don't know if there are going to be two checks or one check for a married couple.
Further, if it is one check, I suspect the check will be made out to both of you since you filed jointly . if that is the case you BOTH would need to endorse the check to cash it. if one spouse tried to cash it without the other's endorsement on the back of the check, that would be fraud!
if you already filed 2018 or 2019 they already know you filed, so that may be why it was rejected.
Many unknowns here.
My stimulus got rejected and I need a PIN that I never received and Can't get online to file this is just getting complicated
This link What do I need to do to get my stimulus payment? has information on how to apply for the stimulus check.
Mine was accepted. And all I did was use intuit's simple directions and voila.
Same thing I was wondering cause it happened to me as well
I believe everyone followed directions however in my case bank info has changed wonder if that was a factor in getting rejected
Yes. If you have filed a return and try to use this to update your information, you will get a reject.
This can only be used for people who have not and will not file a return based on filing requirements.
If you need to update your direct deposit information, the IRS is working on creating a portal for you to enter your deposit information. No word on how long before it is available.

Mine was rejected immediately. My wife and I did not have any income for last 2 years,therefore nothing to file. Did file in 2017 but got a paper check. Don't understand how it would just reject direct deposit info. Scaratchin my head.
@goofygrape55 You can't just file a tax return with direct deposit information only. You will have to file a return with valid income data.
If your bank changed from the bank shown on your 2019 filed tax return, then you need to use an online portal that the IRS will put up in the next few days to change your direct deposit information. Here is a link to an IRS web site to follow: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/economic-impact-payments-what-you-need-to-know
You can't make the change using TurboTax.
The same thing happened to me. I get public assistance and I haven’t worked since 2018 so I just went in to submit my information for direct deposit and it rejected it and when I went back to check it said check back because it was submitted to the irs.
@Anonymous - you state you haven't worked since 2018, but in 2018 did you file a tax return? or are you on social security? if so to either question, there is no need for you to apply
Mine said the same thing. After some research down a rabbit hole I believe mine is because of something to do with my marketplace filing and my insurance. But it's a simple fix, just print the form and mail it in.
I put on there I am a Party Planner which is wrong. I was suppose to put unemployed because I am. How do I fix it?
These links may help explain and guide you through the process.
https://turbotax.intuit.com/stimulus-check/ link to stimulus registration (SR). It is very important that you uses this link that says register now if you don't need to file taxes this year. Otherwise, you will not be able to E-file a zero return. It also has the calculator.
The IRS says it is working on developing a web-based system for people to give the government their direct-deposit information. Keep checking www.irs.gov/coronavirus for more details on this.
