IRS rejections STATE-901 and STATE-902 in ATX™.
When the IRS processes the linked MeF state e-file, it validates that the 1040 submission ID associated with the linked MeF state is in Accepted status. If the Federal return has not yet been Accepted, the state submission is rejected with rejection codes STATE-901 or STATE-902.
If this situation occurs, you need to resubmit the state e-file (once the Federal return is Accepted). To do this once the rejected acknowledgement is received, open the return and re-create the state e-file by clicking E-File toolbar button and selecting the relevant state return. Once the file has been re-created, it must be transmitted using the normal e-file transmission process.
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. For instructions on how to unlink the state return, click here .
- Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, Minnesota, Mississippi, and Oklahoma do not allow unlinked state e-files, therefore, the state return will have to be paper filed.
