Why are my e-file returns rejected?

 If it was rejected for AGI—-be aware that many 2020 returns took so long for the IRS to process that your 2020 AGI might not be in the IRS system.   Try using zero instead.

If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.  The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.

If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.

I had the same problem, came to this forum, and can't find how to start a new topic. When I logged into the website, I was prompted for a username and set one up. I can browse and search the topics no problem, but see no visible way to start a new topic. How do you start a new topic?

I didn't get a rejection code. I got an email saying both federal and state e-files were rejected and telling me to open TurboTax and go to the filing tab to see what happened. I did that. There it said again my e-files were rejected, to check my AGI and try again. No error code. My best guess is that since the IRS has not processed my 2020 return yet, their system doesn't have my 2020 AGI, so their system can't verify the 2020 AGI provided with my 2021 return. Being tax due day, I felt that getting this resolved today was unlikely, so I printed my returns and mailed them before noon. Still, I'm out $25 TurboTax charged me to file my state return electronically, even though it didn't work. I'm in the process of trying to get a refund for that.
