Can anybody decipher the reject below? I have client (MFS) with Federal and Ohio returns Accepted, but both SD-100 returns rejected with below error (SSN replaced with #) The 'http://www.irs.gov/efile:SpouseSSN' element is invalid - The value '### ## ####' is invalid according to its datatype 'http://www.irs.gov/efile:SSNType' - The Pattern constraint failed.

Does the Ohio RITA-37 get filed electronically along with the Ohio return? All indications are that it does, but it is not listed on the OH EF Info "E-Filed Forms" tab

I sent several yesterday and all still show as "Transmitted to EFC"

Looks like this issue was resolved with an update today

I'm having same issue with client that moved from OH to TN

Unfortunately, neither of these addresses the MFJ to MFS "Double-Dipping"

Client and spouse with 4 kids filed MFJ for 2020...received $8,400 EIP3 and $6,300 ATC. For 2021, their MFJ return would be a Fed refund of $7,418. But if I file them MFS and split the EIP3 and ACTC between them...and give client all 4 kids, he gets CTC and EIP3 for a refund of $12,783....spouse does not need to repay ACTC because her income is only $11,000 and still gets her small Fed refund of $158. This "double-dipping" just makes my head spin. Am I the only one that pauses and needs to re-confirm to themselves that this is actually allowed?

It might be more routine to some of you with higher volume, but I have my first example of the ACTC "double-dipping". Single Client with child receives ACTC in 2021...gets married at end of 2021. Now, if Client and Spouse file MFS and spouse claims child, he gets full CTC and client does not have to repay it because her income is under $40k.....It doesn't feel right, but that's what the rules, as stated, are allowing.

I apologize if this has been addressed, but I searched and could not find it. Can we e-file returns with zero income or do we need to add $1 for it to be accepted?

Macallan 12 Scotch and Starward Nova Australian Whiskey will get me through

You will be able to apply the full repayment protection amount of $2,000 for each excess qualifying child if your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) is at or below the following amounts based on the filing status on your 2021 tax return: $60,000 if you are married and filing a joint return or if filing as a qualifying widow or widower; $50,000 if you are filing as head of household; and $40,000 if you are a single filer or you are married and filing a separate return.

I simply decreased the UC credit on Sch 1 to get to a zero (non-negative) income.....then sucessfully e-filed

Dependent client's only income in 2020 was 2,646 UC....$252 Fed tax withheld. E-file rejects (F1040-071-05). Does it need to be paper filed?

disregard...I found it at the bottom of the 1099-R Input screen

has anybody figured out how to enter this in ATX? I am having the same issue
