Fix accepted returns, rejected transmissions, and corrected information-return workflows.
Start with the filing status, then choose the right path. The IRS treats an accepted return that needs a correction differently from a rejected transmission that never made it through processing.
Correction and recovery tools
These resources focus on the IRS IRIS Taxpayer Portal workflow rather than A2A filing.
IRIS Correction Helper
Select the transmission status and the error type to see the correction path you should review.
Choose a correction path →Rejected Transmission Recovery
Use the acknowledgement, return to the source data, fix the cause of rejection, and prepare to resubmit.
Recover a rejected filing →Correct/Replace Guide
Understand when the portal's Correct/Replace control applies and when a rejected file needs a different recovery path.
Correct vs. resubmit →Corrected Recipient Statements
Plan the corrected recipient-copy step after you fix information reported to the IRS.
Review recipient-copy corrections →Choose the return you need to correct.
Each guide connects the IRS correction rules with the fields and workflow for that specific information return.
Corrections start with the transmission status.
Publication 5717 says portal corrections are made for transmissions with a status of Accepted or Accepted with Errors. A rejected transmission should be diagnosed from its acknowledgement rather than treated like an accepted return correction.
