Some TurboTax Online/Desktop customers may be experiencing a rejection error when trying to e-file their state return when their federal return has already been accepted.  Click the link and you can sign up for an email update when the issue is resolved.  State rejection. Federal return must be submitted

@MAK70, that link in your post takes me to "We're sorry, we can't find the page you requested."

 

Is there any update on this issue? Tax Day is approaching. Should I plan to file an extension?

The issue has been resolved, which is why the link is not working. 

 

Please try to file again as it should go through currently. @Rocket J Squirrel

I e-filed my son's federal return and it was rejected twice.  His name is Jerry Allen.  I can't find out why it was rejected.  Can you help me?

You received an email that we cannot see that tells you why your tax return was rejected.  

Some rejected returns can be fixed and re-filed.  Some have “un-fixable” reasons for the rejection and have to be mailed instead. What is the rejection code or rejection message? 

 If it was rejected for AGI—-be aware that many 2020 returns took so long for the IRS to process that your 2020 AGI might not be in the IRS system.   Try using zero instead.

 

If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.  The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.

If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.
