Question

not entitled to efile

I am trying to submit my return and I keep getting the following error message:

Your transmission didn't go through
We could not e-file your return for the following reason:
Our records indicate that you are not entitled to efile one or more formsets.
 
I'm really not sure what is wrong because I have a very basic tax situation and don't have to file any of the more obscure forms. The only issues I can imagine on my end are the fact that this is is my first time filing and the ID I used (my Arizona state driver's license) doesn't work as a federal ID. 
 
What can I do differently so that I am allowed to efile?
Thanks!
