Filed returns Sunday and received that error code. Re-filed Monday but haven't received any acknowledgements. Any progress with fixing this problem!

I also re-transmitted after the same rejection code, and it has been more than 24 hours but the status still shows "Return Sent to IRS" and no acknowledgements. The same thing happened to you?

There's an In Product Alert (yellow banner across the top of the screen) about this now...returns affected are being held until they fix it.

I "think" once they fix the issue those that are being held will get officially rejected (this is what has happened in the past when something like this happens and they hold the returns like this), you can then update the withdrawal date and re-Efile it.


I see, I think so too. Thank you for your prompt reply.

Having this problem in a C-Corp return. Acknowledgement lists 3 possible scenarios but none make sense. Filing deadline is tonight. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Well, youve got 10 days to resubmit a rejected Corp return....so youve got time to get it figured out.

What are the scenarios it shows?

Part IV - 2018 Estimated Tax payments ..... error in EFTPS Confirmation Number (odd but this is a 2019 Form 1120, and they are 2019, not 2018 Estimated Taxes in the Worksheet) .... and I have no estimated tax payments ... this is a C-Corp with NOL c/f

Officer Firm name must be 20 characters or less (name in Worksheet is John) ...

When taxable income is zero, or less than zero, Line 35, Amount owed should be left blank .... (this is the most plausible, but line 35 on page one of return is a calculated figure and is blank in my form)

So, none of the articulated speculative reasons for this error make sense
