Pending means that the IRS has not looked at your return yet.

  • Rejected means that the IRS has looked at your return, but there's something wrong.
  • If it was rejected because some one else used a Social Security number that was on your tax return.
  • This could be a child, or you.
  • If you did not select
    • Someone else can claim me as a dependent
    • It could cause this peoblem.
