Why didn’t my tax return process and get approved

If TurboTax shows your return as not accepted (rejected), it is likely due to a data mismatch (like SSN or birthdate), a dependent already being claimed, or an incorrect prior-year AGI. Check your email. Look for an ACTION NEEDED! email from turbotax@intuit.com and follow the instructions.

 

  1. Do a search of the reject message or code for instructions on how to fix it.
  2. If you have a code you can use this as a guide: What does my rejected return code mean and how do I fix it?
  3. Open your return in TurboTax and click on Fix My Return and Fix it now
  4. You should be able to re-file your tax return once your return is fixed
