Could you explain what this A2 Error is?

Special character error (A23) is what many users encounter because characters such as hyphen, period, and space are not acceptable for FBAR filing.  You may refer to this article for more information:

Gary, did you have any luck with the A2 error.  I am waiting on Intuit for a reply with the same issue.  Thanks.

Filing direct with BSA will eliminate this problem.  All forms are validated for illegal characters before they could be submitted.  The downside, however, is that only discreet filing is allowed.
