Choose Your Rejection

Three rejections. One phone call.

Every rejection code has a specific fix. Tell us what you're seeing and we'll walk you through exactly what happens next.

AGI Mismatch Rejection

Reject code: IND-031-04 / IND-032-04

The prior-year AGI you entered doesn't match what the IRS has on file. This is the most common reason TurboTax and other DIY software reject a return — and the most common reason it keeps happening even when the number looks right.

  • We pull the correct IRS-verified figure through secured professional channels
  • We correct the mismatch and attach it to your return
  • We resubmit directly to the IRS under our firm's PTIN
  • You get an acceptance confirmation — usually the same day

Missing or Invalid IP PIN

Reject code: IND-181-01 / IND-180-01

The IRS issued you an Identity Protection PIN but your return was filed without it, or the one you entered doesn't match. Without the correct IP PIN, the IRS will reject every submission.

  • We guide you through retrieving your current-year IP PIN from the IRS
  • We add the PIN to your return correctly the first time
  • We refile electronically and monitor for acceptance
  • If retrieval fails, we prepare the backup paper route

1095-A Marketplace Rejection

Reject code: F8962-070

If you or a dependent had a Marketplace health plan, the IRS requires Form 8962 reconciled against your 1095-A. Filing without it — or with mismatched numbers — triggers an automatic rejection.

  • We help you locate or retrieve your 1095-A from healthcare.gov
  • We complete Form 8962 and reconcile advance premium credits
  • We amend or resubmit your return cleanly
  • We handle any under/overpayment of premium tax credits

Real rejections. Real refunds.

A small sample of what happens when you hand a rejected return to a licensed preparer instead of fighting software.

★★★★★
The IRS sent me an IP PIN and I had no idea what to do with it. TurboTax kept rejecting me. One call with RefundIQ, fifteen minutes, done. Refund hit my account eight days later.
Marcus T. Atlanta, GA · IP PIN Rejection
★★★★★
I had no idea what an IP PIN even was. They walked me through everything, refiled it, and didn't charge me a dollar out of pocket.
Angela R. Phoenix, AZ · IP PIN Error
★★★★★
Missed my 1095-A entirely. They found it, fixed Form 8962, and my refund actually went up by $340 after the correction.

Answers

Questions before you call.

If you don't see your question, just call us — we'll answer it in under a minute.

Is RefundIQ actually legitimate?

Yes. We are IRS-authorized tax professionals with active PTINs (Preparer Tax Identification Numbers). Every return we file is signed under our firm. You can verify any preparer's PTIN through the IRS directory.

How much does it cost?

Nothing upfront and nothing out of pocket. Our fee is deducted from your federal refund through a partnered financial institution. You receive 100% of the net refund we quote you before we file — no surprises.

Why is your refund amount different from what I saw in TurboTax?

The difference is usually why you were rejected in the first place. Consumer software can trigger credits or miss updates that professional-grade tools catch. Your final number reflects what the IRS will actually accept.

Is my information safe over the phone?

Yes. We use IRS-compliant encrypted systems used by licensed preparers nationwide. We never request payment information, and your data is never sold or shared.

How long until I actually see my refund?

Once we refile, the IRS typically issues direct-deposit refunds within 10–21 days. We monitor acceptance and notify you immediately if anything else needs attention.

What if my return is already past the deadline?

We can still help. Late returns can be filed and, in most cases, you're still owed your refund — there's no late penalty when you're getting money back. Call us and we'll walk through your specific situation.

Don't Wait

Your refund is sitting with the IRS.

Every day your return stays rejected is another day your money isn't yours. Our licensed preparers are standing by right now.
