1065 efile rejection

[ConradC]

Anyone else dealt with this rejection code? I have an issue with the software stating that the designated partner's phone number is not valid or incorrect (well it's correct), so what's the solution. Upon filing, I get this rejection code:

Error message: Data in the return is missing or invalid. Please double check your entries.

Solution: This Federal return may not be electronically filed. There are less than two partners entered for the return, and Federal single member LLC's are specifically not allowed to be e-filed. At least two K-1s are required for Federal partnership return to be accepted via e-file. Federal single member LLC's must be paper filed.

Code: /Return/ReturnData/IRS1065/IRS1065ScheduleB/IndividualPRDesignati

The issue isn’t about phone numbers.  It appears you are trying to file a partnership return with only one partner.  One partner equals a schedule C, not a 1065.

This was resolved by correcting the Responsible Partner number in Client Information. I also entered an override in the number of K1s to generate, which for this 1065 was 6.

This was a partnership with 6 partners. All K1s appeared correct in other formats and printing of the return. Only error code was upon efile. The solution was to correct the Responsible Partner number in Client Information.
