Why would TurboTax reject my return?
Probably the most common reason that the IRS will reject a tax return is because of errors that are discovered during e-filing. You’ll be able to resubmit your corrected return, and we’ll tell you when it’s accepted by the IRS. When you mail a paper copy of your tax return, the IRS reject codes aren’t applicable.
Can you back out of TurboTax?

What happens if you file your taxes late in April?
If you are due a refund, the IRS will not penalize you for filing your tax return late.

But for taxpayers who still owe tax on the April deadline, the consequences of filing late are a bit more severe.
