Did you get this message?
“Tax withheld appears excessive in relation to the income amounts reported". You do not need to file a correction. Just update the forms and replace them. We have added credits to your account, so you will not be charged at checkout. Edit the form and resubmit, or file paper returns and submit a Form 8508 request for waiver as applicable.
What does this mean?
The IRS has flagged your filing for having more tax withheld than they think is reasonable.
What do I do?
Start by checking your form for a typo. One extra zero can make a big difference.
If your withholding is correct, and you don't want to make a change, there's no way for us to eFile your form and get it past the gatekeeper rules. They're automatic and can't be waived. In this case, you'll need to file paper returns and submit Form 8508.
Update the withholding amount and re-save your form.
Your forms will now move to Ready status.
You can now replace your form. Replacing your form will maintain the original submission date with the IRS. Be sure to use the Replace Rejection button or dropdown action to use this option.
Warning: Clicking Submit & eFile will send the form as a new original filing with that day's date. You will lose your original filing date with this option, but it won't create a duplicate submission because your first filing was rejected.
Replace Rejection will take you to a modified checkout process. You should not be charged unless you add on a delivery option like Mail Delivery. A credit was applied to your account when your form was rejected.
