Question:   I filed electronically but my tax return was rejected. What do I do now?

• Your next action depends on the reason your return was rejected.
• You should receive an explanation of why the return was rejected.
• If a mistake was made when entering a social security number, omitting a form or a name is misspelled, the errors can be corrected and the return can be filed electronically again with the IRS.
• There are other errors that will cause you to have to file using a paper return.
