No one in the user forum knows why your 2023 return was rejected.  We cannot see the email that you received that gave you a rejection message or rejection code.   Most rejections are for AGI.   E-filing is permanently closed for 2023, so the only way to file it now is by mail.  Print, sign and date it in ink, and mail it in.

 

Go to Tax Home 

Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year 2023 and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

 

 

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

 

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
