Why was my return sent back for correction?
Why was my return sent back for correction?
The IRS returns about 1 percent of submissions for corrections. Usually it is because of an error in the data the taxpayer has entered (an incorrect EIN on a W-2, a misspelled name or a typo in a SSN). The most common error message relates to the Self-Select PIN Program. The most common IRS error codes have been added to the knowledge base for your convenience. If your return is sent back for correction, complete the following steps:

Please note that if you do not correct the error and resubmit, your return cannot be accepted by the IRS.
