🔍 IRS rejections STATE-901 and STATE-902
If you see STATE-901 or STATE-902, you will need to resubmit the state e-file after the Federal return is accepted.
⚠️ Before You Begin
You will need to confirm the Federal return status before resubmitting the state e-file.
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Wait for the Federal return to be Accepted
Use this when you need to ensure the Federal return is accepted before resubmitting the state.
If this situation occurs, you need to resubmit the state e-file (once the Federal return is Accepted) by opening the return and running diagnostics, and then re-creating and transmitting the e-file.
Step 2: Open the return and run diagnostics
Use this to identify and resolve issues before you re-create the e-file.
Open the return and run diagnostics.
Step 3: Re-create and transmit the state e-file
Use this to generate a new state submission after diagnostics are complete.
Re-create and transmit the e-file.
📝 Notes
- Each time the IRS rejects the Federal 1040 return, they will also reject the linked State return.
- If the Federal return has already been accepted, un-link the state and send the state return.
