eFile Reject: Error 5205 TX - Invalid combinatio of tax forms

[#1]

I tried efiling with the same carryover 2022 information for the Texas Franchise Tax Form 05-102/05-166. I get this reject code. 

I have no idea what it means. 

Reject: Error 5205: Invalid combination of tax forms. - Form Number: Header; Line Number:

Resolution: For this filing the state has determined that the filing type is not consistent with the transmitted forms. Please review the forms you are submitting (or missing) and make any necessary adjustments and resend the filing. Please remove any entries overriding which main form is generated in the program.

removing the from 05-166 will not e-file the affiliate report.

Correct.  No required.

Per the Comptroller's website:

A combined group must include all taxable entities in the combined group report even if any member, on a separate entity basis, has annualized total revenue at or below the no tax due threshold. If a combined group’s annualized total revenue is at or below the no tax due threshold, the combined group is no longer required to file a No Tax Due Report, an Affiliate Schedule, or a Common Owner Information Report for that report year.

I see that some of you are saying to eliminate the 05-166.  How do you suppress that from getting electronically filed?  

[davidsteve]

if you suppress it, it creates a diagnostic error, and it gets rejected. 

[GAKCPA]

I did not suppress it. I just removed any data that created the 05-166.
