Do you have rental income included on your return? That reject code is due to Form 8960. Please review the rental income section of your return. 

 

Additionally, when you open your return, you should have a "Fix it Now" button to clear the problem.  

 

Once the federal rejection is cleared, and your federal return is accepted, your state return will follow.

 

 

Reject F8960-019-04: If Form 8960, 'NetRentalIncomeOrLossAmt' has a non-zero value, then it must be equal to Schedule 1 (Form 1040), 'RentalRealEstateIncomeLossAmt' unless all of the following conditions are true: 1) Filing status of the return is Married filing jointly or Qualifying widow(er) and 2) Form 8960, checkboxes 'Section6013gInd' and 'Section6013hInd' are not checked and 3) Form 8960, 'FilingThresholdAmt' equals 125000.

I wonder if the form somehow got into your return and needs to be deleted.

 

Try these steps to see if the form is included in your return, and if so, delete it and try filing again.

1) Open your tax return. 

2) Go to the left side of the screen and click on Tax Tools, then Tools 

3)  From the pop-up Tools Center  menu, select  Delete a form 

4) Scroll to find Form 8960 and Delete it. 

5) Scroll to the bottom of the list and hit the button to Continue My Return 

  

That should do it.
