Does a rejected federal efile count as one the 5 allowed efiles?

I am having a problem with Form 2210 and already have 3 rejected eFiles. Do these count toward the 5 allowed?

Per a conversation last night with Robert at TurboTax Support, rejects do NOT count. You can file up to 5 separate returns.

No, rejected federal e-files do not count as on the 5 allowed e-files. As you stated above, with the TurboTax Home & Biz package, you can file up to 5 separate returns. When a return rejects and you resend it (even multiple times), this still only counts as one of your allowed five returns.

Some people can re-efile a rejected return 10 times, some people can re-efile a rejected return 3 times, some more some less. A rejected Tax Return can only be re-efiled as many times as the IRS will allow. At the point customer receives a message that they can no longer efile or their number of times limit has been reached, then the customer must mail their return. At this point the company is no longer liable for efiling rejected returns.

What if I e-filed a return and it was rejected and instead of e-filling it again I mailed my return. Does that count as one e-filed or do I still have five to use?
