You probably have a check mark for the watermark in the filing copy. If not,, are you printing the filing copy?

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround

Hi, there is "REFERENCE ONLY" watermark on NJ corporation forms. They are the watermark that agency added because NJ requires them to be filed electronically. To help with troubleshooting, can you please share what reject error you got? Thanks.

Both federal and state were rejected.  Returns were filed 5/25 but I didn't notice the IRS reject until last week. It said: "The return type indicated in the return header must match the return type established with the IRS for the EIN." This reject is common when a corp or s-corp is filed for first time.  Call the IRS e-file helpdesk.

This was the second year of filing as s-corp and had no problems for 2019.  I tried efiling again but helpdesk said system is down until  1/8 (maybe) so still says "received by Intuit."  I'm still hoping helpdesk can resolve when system reopens but am preparing for manual filing if absolutely necessary.  Federal prints out fine but state is a problem.

When efiling reopens, try efiling NJ by itself if federal won't go through.

The more I know the more I don’t know.
