Sometimes a reject cannot be resolved and a return must be paper filed. Having a completed return stuck in "rejected" perpetually makes it seem like there is something wrong every time we log in.
Please allow a manual status change from "rejected" to "paper-filed"
Thanks for the idea. We are changing the status to "Open for voting" since it has been around for over 30 days and no longer considered "New". If you have any questions on the life cycle of an idea, check out our Idea Getting Started Guide for more information.
@puravidapto How can you paper file an electronic return? The electronic return will be forever "rejected" until it is accepted and that will never happen.
If you are unable to complete an e-file, then remove the efile checkmarks and move on with your life.
@George4Tacks After we paper filed a return, we do not care if the return was electronic rejected or not, so we want to remove the warning from the E-file dashboard, that is what the OP is asking the software to improve (Change e-file status from "rejected" to "paper filed"), not how to paper file a return.
