Using the E-File Rejection Report

If your return is rejected after e-filing, you can use this report to view a list of all the e-file errors. You will need to correct all errors before you can resubmit your return electronically. Note: The report lists the errors encountered in the most recent e-filing, but does not reflect any corrections that you may have already made to your return.

Data Displayed on the Report

Rejection Code - an alphanumeric code that represents the exact error. The format of this code is ##-XX-##. The two letters identify the return type. For example, FD for federal return, state abbreviation for a state return (MA for Massachusetts, etc.), or XFD for a federal extension. The numbers define the error condition.
Problem - An explanation of the error that caused your return to be rejected.
Solution - Steps you can take to correct the error. If the error has occurred in several places, you will need to correct all instances. Note: Not all errors are ones that can be corrected from within TaxCut. In cases where the problem cannot be fixed from within TaxCut, you will be directed to file your return on paper.

Jumping to the Related Form

For some errors, TaxCut will provide a Go To Form button. You can click on this button to go to the form with the error and fix it. TaxCut opens the form and moves the cursor to the line with the error. After you have corrected the error, click the Close Form button at the top of the form to close it.
