1041 E-file: Extension - Viewing Reject Notices

Should the IRS reject the e-filed tax return or extension, the e-file status for the locator will show as Rejected. If this occurs, follow the steps below:

From the E-file Status Report screen, click Rejected (the word Rejected will be a hyperlink) in the Federal Status column.
The appropriate reject messages will be displayed.
Select the Print button. (The Rejection Notice will be sent to your default printer.)
Review the reason for the rejection as included on the printed Rejection Notice.

If the situation causing the rejection can be corrected, open the locator and modify the erroneous information, and then recreate the e-file and resubmit.

All extension e-files have five days (including weekends and holidays) for the perfection period.
