Question

E-file was rejected due to screwed up SSN. Can I refile federal electronically (AZ state already says no, has to be mailed)?

E-filed both and both were rejected. I fixed this simple error but it is not clear if I have to snail-mail an amended form to the feds, or if I can resubmit it electronically. It would appear that for the state (AZ) I am forced to print out and mail the whole thing with an attached 140X.

since rejected you should still be able to e-file Federal and I don't understand being unable to e-file your state are you sure you did not select to mail it in? still having issues with efiling state, contact TurboTax support

Thank you Mike9241.

It's what TurboTax online said -- the message indicated that due to rejection, efile was no longer an option. This was also stated on the 140X form, that it had to be mailed in, not electronic. I plan to contact TT support, just thought I'd float it to the community first.

So here's a follow-up:

TT Tech support tried to help but could not. It appears that once you change delivery method to snail-mail and fill out amended forms, the software will not permit (does not provide any way to) change back to e-file. What is maddening about this is that it was simply a typo on one SSN -- one would think this a simple thing to correct and then resubmit... but no.
