S-Corporation Reject Error R0000-900-01 efile:Return/efile:ReturnHeader/efile:ReturnTypeCd

[PPECPA]

Filing an S-Corporation Tax return for the first time for a client.  I filed the tax return last night and today when I went to check on the E-File Status, I received a rejection notice stating the following:

S-Corporation Reject Error R0000-900-01 efile:Return/efile:ReturnHeader/efile:ReturnTypeCd

It further states that the filing type indicated in the filing header must match the filing type established with the IRS for the EIN.  

I have no idea how to resolve this.  Can anyone help?

Thanking you in advance

Paper file with the rejection notice.  Someone either didn’t get their Sub S election in or the IRS hasn’t processed it yet so you also need to add the election to the paper filed return.

Thanks for this IronMan, silly question, where do I make the election?  I mean what input screen do I want to do this?

You attach the signed 2553 to the e-file in Screen 3.2

I encountered this with a couple of new S-corps I took on this year.  I agree with @IRonMaN  that the hang up is with an unapproved S election as that is the case with both of mine and we'll be using late election relief on the return filing.
