Efiled Pennsylvania RCT101 - Rejection Error

[Yardley CPA]

Is anyone familiar with the rejection error "The Submission of a State Submission must match Submission Category of the Referenced IRS Submission.  In other words, RESERVED?"

 

I tried efiling a Pennsylvania RCT101 form by itself and it was rejected due to this error?  Any ideas?

Most likely, Pennsylvania, like many other states, will not accept e-filed returns after October 15.  Paper file and don't worry about the error.

Have you successfully e-filed this return in the past?  I am not familiar with PA's wording of errors, but it may not be due to the timing at all.  There were problems with some vendors' software in prior years when filing an RCT-101 by itself when the federal wasn't also filed. For example, a single member LLC that was a disregarded entity for federal purposes where income was included on the member's personal return but was reported on the RCT-101 for state reporting. In those cases, paper filing was necessary for the RCT-101, and if the preparer is subject to the mandatory e-filing rules, an explanation should be attached of why the return is being paper filed.

Thanks very much.  I planned on efiling this as a single return but I believe it is looking for a federal attachment.
