What happens if a tax return is rejected after e-filing?

If a tax return is rejected after e-filing, the appropriate course of action is to correct the errors present in the submission and then resubmit the return electronically. This process allows taxpayers to address the issues that led to the rejection without needing to resort to traditional paper filing. The e-filing system is designed to streamline the correction and resubmission process, enabling taxpayers to file their returns more efficiently.

Choosing to correct the errors and resubmit electronically is a common practice because it preserves the benefits of e-filing, such as faster processing times and quicker refunds. It also encourages taxpayers to ensure their submissions are accurate and complete before the final filing, fostering better compliance with tax regulations.
