As of 03-27-2025 IRS Tax Return is still being Rejected for Form 5695 Error:

Federal return rejection: This return can not currently be processed for e-filing due to Joint Occupancy on Form 5695Reject Code 5695_Joint_Occupancy.

Let's take a look at your return

Description of error:

This return can not currently be processed for e-filing due to Joint Occupancy on Form 5695

What needs to be done:

This return was not e-filed due to a processing error that will be corrected on March 27, 2025. On or after March 27, 2025 open the rejected return, review it for errors, and resubmit the return for electronic filing. If you do not want to wait until March 27, you may print the return and file by mail.

I am in the same boat as you too if that is any consolation.

Please wait until later today or tomorrow when the update takes place. Then you will be able to successfully file.

You're wrong. It says we can't fix it now until April 4th. What's wrong with TurboTax?

Any luck yet? I tried multiple times over the past few weeks. Yesterday, I called because of the March 27 "fix" date and it still wasn't working. The gentleman I talked to suggested that I delete the form and redo that section after Turbo tax was updated. I think my last attempt yesterday work but am waiting for the taxes to be accepted. This is frustrating because it's been on my to do list since February when I finished our taxes.

Did it work? If so, how did you re-attach the form and resubmit. My concern is that if I don't file by 3/31 the price goes up. I might as well just print and mail it to the IRS like the old fashioned way. This is so annoying that the IRS can get one of their own forms to work!

This is happening to me too! So frustrating!!! I did my taxes early this year and since I am actually getting some money back - I have been trying to submit since February. What's the deal??? 😬

The new date is 4/4/25! Let's hope that the IRS/Turbo Tax fix it. Getting too close to the deadline.

This sounds like an turbotax issue. I pd to e-file. Please either update by 4/11/2925 or give me a refund. I feel like suing because of all the issues and stress this has put me through. No way am I going through this next year. Sorry software!

I suspect your return is being rejected for a different reason. If it had been rejected previously for Form 5695, that reject was resolved so there is likely another reason for reject. What does it show your return is being rejected for?

It works now:) On April 4, I updated Turbo Tax, deleted the form(Probably overkill), reentered the info and submitted. Both my Federal and State taxes were accepted. Try now if you haven't already.
