If you receive a rejection code, it’s likely because the IRS found an error on your e-filed tax return.
E-filed returns can be corrected and resubmitted if you made a mistake in entering certain information. Reasons for a rejection can include but are not limited to:
Incorrect Social Security Number (SSN) or Identification Number
Incorrect date of birth
Incorrect AGI
Name does not match the name on the Social Security card
A form was omitted
Someone else used your, your spouse's, or your dependent's Social Security number to file their return
What steps do I take to fix the filing if filing with april?
You'll need to log back in to april and fix the error. Once you have corrected the error, you can resubmit your filing. Contact the april Customer Support team if you have issues identifying or correcting the errors.
What do I do if my return keeps getting rejected because my dependent’s SSN has been used on more than one return?
