What to do when your form is Rejected

Here's how to fix your file and get it resubmitted

Updated this week

When a file is rejected, that means we sent it to the IRS or SSA, and their rules kept it from being submitted.

You will get an email to the email address listed as your Notification Email in the My Account section of Helper. That email will include a "rejection reason."

Rejections do not need Corrections. When a form is rejected, it is not entered in the IRS or SSA records. Instead, you will need to edit the form so it complies with the rule it violates.

1099 and 1098 forms that are federally rejected have the option to be replaced. Learn more about this in the article related to your rejection reason.
