All:

I am new to ProConnect and after attempting to submit my first return yesterday, I got this error:

Error message: If first two digits of the EFIN in the IRS Submission Manifest are 10, 21, 32, 44 or 53, then 'OriginatorTypeCd' in the Return Header must have the value "OnlineFiler".

Solution: The EFIN used to transmit this return is not a registered EFIN to e-file 1040 Modernized e-file returns with the IRS. To update your EFIN to include 1040 Modernized e-file returns, please copy and paste this web address in an internet browser to go to IRS e-Services where your EFIN can be updated online. https://la.www4.irs.gov/e-services/Registration/index.htm Or you may also call the IRS e-File Helpdesk for assistance at: (866) 255-0654 Once your EFIN has been updated, please retransmit this return.

Code: R0000-118-01

I checked the eServices site and my ERO status is active.  I don't see a way to add modernized e-file returns.  Can someone help me with this?

Looks like you may have chosen the wrong "type" when you applied for your EFIN. Others have had the same issue.  Looks like you'll need to contact IRS E-services for this.

Be sure you have the correct EFIN and have verified it with PTO. https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/help-articles/help/register-your-efin-with-proconnect-tax-on...

Thanks, Lisa, the link was very helpful!  I will contact the IRS to change my EFIN.

Best wishes to you!

Thank you for your response!

I think that is the problem!  I will follow up with the IRS to fix this.

Best wishes to you!
