Q) I filed electronically (e-filing) but my tax return was rejected. What do I do now?
A) According to the IRS – There must be an error on your return. Please review the following:
- You should receive an explanation of why the return was rejected.
- If a mistake was made when entering a social security number, a payer’s identification number, omitting a form, or misspelling a name; the errors can be corrected and the return can be resubmitted electronically again with the IRS.
- Unfortunately, there are other errors that will cause you to have to file a paper return by mail.

- For general information about e-file, refer to Filing Your Taxes.

I have an identity theft situation and my IPPIN number is being sent to the person who is filing under my social security number so my tax return for 2019 was rejected.i don’t want to experience the same situation this year and the IRS is not helping at all. How can this be fixed?
