Paper filing rejected returns
Publication 4163 states, "Before filing a paper return, corporations, partnerships, and tax-exempt organizations required to e-file (mandated) must contact the e-help Desk (1.866.255.0654) to attempt to resolve the rejection conditions. If the rejection conditions can't be resolved, these taxpayers need to receive authorization from the e-help Desk before filing a paper return."
When a rejected electronic return needs to be paper filed after the due date, the IRS recommends you do the following to ensure the return is considered filed.
- Contact the e-help Desk at 1.866.255.0654 to obtain a case number for the original rejection.
- Include an explanation for why the return is being filed after the due date, a copy of the rejection notification, and a brief history of actions taken to correct the rejection.
- Write “REJECTED ELECTRONIC RETURN - [DATE]” in red on the top of Page 1 of the paper return with [DATE] being the date of the 1st rejection within the 10 calendar day perfection period.
note
To obtain a copy of the rejection notification, print the ELF History Report for the client. This report also indicates the date you e-filed the return and the date the return was rejected.
