Internal only

Files that are returned with a status of "Accepted" or "Accepted with errors" and need to be re-submitted need to have a file type of "Corrected". Accounting CS does not have this capability for the 2016 filing year.

Error code TPE 1106: Remove special characters from the BusinessNameLine1Txt field. Development is working on a better resolution (ADO 929760).

Error code TPE 1204: See ADO 929065

Error code AIRMF3014: Recreate the file using the correct replacement file type (see the related topic link in the external content above).

There are two checks on files that are submitted. TPE errors are returned when the initial security check on the portal detects something wrong. Errors that begin with AIR are returned from the secondary check.

Error AIRSH100: We got the following from the IRS site:

Improper use of prefix for the elements BirthDt and TaxYr Solution: The prefix for elements BirthDt and TaxYr should be associated with the namespace “urn:us:gov:treasury:irs:ext:aca:air:ty16” not the namespace “urn:us:gov:treasury:irs:common”. 

This customer's rejection contained AIRSH100 along with some additional information that helped us look for Birth Date issues:

/Form109495CTransmittalUpstream/Form1094CUpstreamDetail/Form1095CUpstreamDetail/AgeNum [lineNum:2246]

We opened the file in Notepad and line 2246 listed an employee with a birth date of: xx/xx/2022 (too young to be working). Check for inaccurate date of birth or hire dates. The line number in the rejection will help you find the line in the submitted file.
