Where can I find out why my filing was rejected?

There are 2 easy ways to find the clerk’s comments in the event of a rejection.

One… the email notification that the filing was not accepted will contain the clerk’s comments as well as a link to return to the rejected filing.

Two… you can find the clerk’s comments on your History page under the Rejected tab by expanding the filing entry. You can also click on the filing entry to return to the rejected filing.
