If your 2018 return was rejected -- what if anything did you ever do to file it? Did you fix the reason for the rejection and re-file? Or did you print, sign and mail it instead? Or did you just give up and not file it at all? If you are getting a refund you have three years from the filing deadline to file it and get the refund. If you owed tax due and did not file, your penalties and interest have been adding up and will continue to accrue.
The most common reason for rejection is incorrect AGI. If AGI was the reason for your 2018 rejection it no longer matters since you can only file 2018 by mail now. If it was rejected for some other reason--what did the rejection email say--when it was rejected you received an email that told you the reason.
If you have any changes/corrections at all to make to your 2018 return, you now have to complete it using desktop software, which you must download to a full PC or Mac (not to a mobile device).Then you need to print, sign and mail it.

If you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late. If you owe tax due, then file and pay the amount due as shown on the Form 1040, but expect a bill later from the IRS for the penalty and interest you will owe. Only the IRS will calculate this—TurboTax will not calculate it.
