    Efile pre transmission error

    Bcpa
    Level 2

    Received the following pre transmission error report:

    Exception occurred during EF batching client: Problem occurred executing EF submission. A task was canceled.

    Checked troubleshooting and nothing.  Any ideas?

    I ended up doing the following:

    1. Deleted the e file.

    2. Deleted the PDF attachments. 

    3. Renamed all PDFs with shorter, distinct names. (Had a problem with long similar names a number of years ago.)

    4. Reattached PDFs to the return

    5. Did the e file wizard and transmitted.

    That seemed to solve the problem.

    I'm sorry to be dumb - but how did you delete the e file?

    This file does not have a PDF attachment.  I have deleted the efile "file" and rebuilt still get the same error.  And only get this on this file.  Any other support help?

    I am having the same issue in February 2023, but I can't find any help either. I am getting a 504 (Gateway Timeout) error. Not sure how to get support through LaCerte - not helpful.
