I have a Single Member LLC, 1040 return that I am trying to e-file. It let me file the federal return, but it keeps giving me an error message for the state return. Error code 202. I have ran the error check and there are no errors in the return.  I have updated and licensed the software, but I continue to get the error message. Anybody had this problem before?

Yes, @Steve304 had this problem earlier this year but there doesn't seem to be a solution.  If he managed to solve the problem, perhaps he could share his experience with you.

Are you using your clients SS number and not FEIN. just a guess, but your state might not like an FEIN on a 1040 schedule C

His SSN is on the 1040, but his EIN is on the Schedule C and state return.

You need to use the SS number on the schedule C of a single member LLC, this is from IRS: For federal income tax purposes, a single-member LLC classified as a disregarded entity generally must use the owner's social security number (SSN).

Here is link for you to read all the instruction for a single member LLC:

In the federal Schedule C screen - at the top- there is a box to check - "Check this box if filing this Schedule C as an LLC in CA, NY, TN, or TX.  Once you check that box, the efiling works.
