Married Filing Separate returns in a community property state require data entry in Screen ComPSt.
Description of F1040-174-03:
This IRS business rule maintains that for married filing separate returns with a community property state (AZ, CA, ID, LA, NM, NV, TX, WA, and WI) entered as the postal code in Screen 1040, Community Property State Allocation Record data entry is required in Screen ComPSt.
Notes
- This IRS business rule does not consider the situation where the taxpayer lived in a community property state in the tax year, but has since moved in the processing year, and therefore requires an electronically filed Community Property State Allocation Record. For such returns, change the filing status to married filing joint, or file the return on paper with an Allocation Worksheet.

The prior-year Adjusted Gross Income amount used to verify the Self-Select PIN (Personal Identification Number) does not match the prior-year tax return.
Description of IND-031-04 / IND-032-04:
When you file using the Self-Select PIN, there are "shared secrets" that only the taxpayer and spouse should know that are entered in Screen PIN to authenticate the person entering the taxpayer and spouse PIN. Included in these shared secrets is the prior-year adjusted gross income. This amount must match the amount shown with the originally filed prior-year tax return. If the amount entered differs, the IRS will reject the return with business rule IND-031-04 for the taxpayer or business rule IND-032-04 for the spouse. To correct this issue, confirm the information with the client. If the amount appears correct, contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 for additional information. Or, you may choose to use the Practitioner PIN option which does not require entry of the shared secrets. To do this for all clients, choose Setup > Office Configuration > E-Filing tab, click the ERO button, and mark the Practitioner PIN Program filer checkbox.

Description of R0000-500-01, F1099R-502-02, FW2-502, or FW2G-502:
Employer identification number does not match: During processing of the electronic file, the IRS matches the Employer Identification Number on Forms W-2, W-2G, and 1099-R.

To override the name control, choose View > Form, then choose the applicable W-2 for ELF, W-2G for ELF, or 1099-R for ELF form and enter the override in the Name control field.

Description of R0000-905-01:
When a return is rejected with a business rule of R0000-905, the business rule generally indicates a registration problem with the IRS e-file program.

Vehicle information is incomplete.
Description of SC-F1040-003-01:
The business rule indicates that the Schedule C, Page 2, Part IV, Information on Your Vehicle section has not been completed and Form 4562 is not present. Often, this occurs when the Car and truck (Force) field in Screen C-2 is used to enter automobile expenses for the Schedule C. The IRS requires that if there is an entry for car and truck expenses, either Form 4562 must be present or the questions on Page 2 of Schedule C must be completed. To avoid this business rule, enter the car and truck expenses in the Asset tab of the Schedule C activity, rather than using the Car and truck (Force) field. Also, review for vehicles that do not have business mile entries.
If you do not use the Asset tab to enter depreciation, follow the steps below to enter the date for Schedule C, Page 2, line 43.
- Choose File > Client Properties.
- Click the Advanced Properties button.
- Click the Enter Asset Detail tab.
- Clear the Enter asset detail information checkbox, and when prompted, click Yes to proceed.
- Click OK twice.
- Click the Business folder in the folders block, click the Auto tab, and enter the date in the Veh 1 - Date field.
- Repeat steps 1 - 4 to mark the Enter asset detail information checkbox.
- Create the electronic file.

The IRS requires Schedule EIC, Line 6, Number of months child lived with you, to be 12 for a child who was born or died in the current tax year. A dependent entry of less than 12 months must be filed on paper.
Description of SEIC-F1040-004-04:
In the statement dialog for the Dependent information field in Screen 1040, if the Mos Home column is less than 12 and the child was born or died in the current tax year, the return must be filed on paper to claim the EIC for this dependent.
If the child was born or died in the tax year, and the taxpayer's home was the child's home for more than half the time the child was alive during the tax year, simply change the Mos Home column to 12 to clear error SEIC-F1040-004-04.
Otherwise, do the following:
- To paper file the return, enter SEIC-F1040-004-04 in the UltraTax CS error reject code (ERC) field in the Form 8948 - Paper Filing Exceptions section in Screen ELF.
- Alternatively, to elect to electronically file the return while not reporting this dependent on Schedule EIC, change the Dep Code column to 6 (Children who lived with this client, do not qualify for EIC) to clear error SEIC-F1040-004-04.
