Unable to e-file

After getting rejected by is 4 times due to incorrect AGI from last year I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. I resent my return and now I have a rejection with no reason other than that I have to mail it. Why? How long will it take to get my refund if I have to mail it?

Unable to e-file

If after repeated rejections you now have been prompted by the IRS to mail in your tax return. You will unfortunately have to file a paper file with the IRS. Here are instructions to  file a paper return by printing out copies of your federal and state returns and mailing them. We’ll include File by Mail Instructions on where to send your returns and what forms, if any, you need to include.

It will take longer to get a refund when you send a paper file to the IRS here is more information on that. It takes about 4-6 weeks.

Paper-filers: The IRS asks you wait 4 weeks after you mail your return before looking up your refund at Where's My Refund?
