Why does TurboTax keep rejecting my taxes?
Probably the most common reason that the IRS will reject a tax return is because of errors that are discovered during e-filing. You’ll be able to resubmit your corrected return, and we’ll tell you when it’s accepted by the IRS. When you mail a paper copy of your tax return, the IRS reject codes aren’t applicable.
Why does TurboTax say accepted but IRS doesnt?
It simply means that your e-filed return is being processed and that the government hasn’t approved or rejected it yet. Sometimes return status does not update for several days or even longer. During this time, the government reviews your refund (processing).
What if I entered the correct AGI and I’m still getting an e-file reject?
When you enter your prior year AGI or PIN, it must match the IRS master file exactly. If your return was rejected for an AGI or PIN mismatch, it means that what you entered doesn’t match their records. The IRS only requires one of these to match their records to get accepted.
Can I efile without last year’s AGI?
The IRS uses your prior-year AGI to verify your identity when you efile your 2020 Tax Return. You only need a prior-year AGI if you are e-Filing your tax return to the IRS. An incorrect 2019 AGI on your 2020 return will result in a tax return rejection by the IRS and/or State Tax Agency.
How many times can you e-file after being rejected?
You can re-submit your e-filed return as many times as necessary until the filing deadline in October. However, we recommend that after three unsuccessful attempts (with the same e–file error), you print, sign, and mail your return. Some e–file issues cannot be resolved except by the IRS.
Why IRS hasn’t accepted my return?

Can I still file my 2019 taxes electronically in 2020?

Why can’t I Efile my return?

Can I file 2020 taxes if I didn’t file 2019?
There’s no law or rule that says you have to file your 2019 return before you can do your 2020 return. However, it’s best to prepare your 2019 return first, if possible.
Will the IRS catch my mistake?
Remember that the IRS will catch many errors itself
For example, if the mistake you realize you’ve made has to do with math, it’s no big deal: The IRS will catch and automatically fix simple addition or subtraction errors. And if you forgot to send in a document, the IRS will usually reach out in writing to request it.
What do I do if I made a mistake on my taxes?
If you want to make changes after the original tax return has been filed, you must file an amended tax return using a special form called the 1040X, entering the corrected information and explaining why you are changing what was reported on your original return. You don’t have to redo your entire return, either.
