There are many reasons why a tax return may be rejected. One of the most common reasons is an incorrect prior-year adjusted gross income (AGI) that's required for an electronic signature. Other common errors include misspelled names and incorrect social security numbers or birth dates. Most of these errors can be fixed so you can resubmit your return for e-filing.
