Will failure to turn in our marriage license cause state and federal to reject our return?

State and federal rejected my return. I think my husband and I forgot to turn in our marriage license after the ceremony. Could this be why they were rejected?

No that isn’t why.   You should have got an email with the reject code.   A common reason is for the wrong 2023 AGI.   Try entering 0 for the AGI. The IRS might have processed your return later so the AGI didn't get entered in time.  Especially if you mailed it.  That works for most people. See,

If you can’t get it to efile you will have to print and mail it.

Be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.
