Problem with CA 568

[Tax Prep by Deb]

Just tried to e-file my first ever California form 568 for a SMLLC for a client and it rejected for the following reason:  Your State submission does not match the latest published FTB Schema or is not well formed. You must contact your software provider to resolve this error.

/CA-Return/CA-ReturnData

Value: File Name: (submission number, I deleted for security reasons). Line Number: 1. Position: 11532. Reason: The 'softwareId' attribute is invalid - The value '' is invalid according to its datatype 'http://www.irs.gov/efile:SoftwareIdType' - The Pattern constraint failed.

 

Anybody no what to do about this?  Is it something I've done wrong?

I don't know, but since no one else has answered my first guess would be to see if there is an update available that would correct this.  Other than that, I got nothing.

Best Guess: Your CA  Efile form and supporting worksheet are not the most current version or has been corrupted.

!.  Delete the form and worksheet, add it back recreate the efile and submit.

2. If that doesn't work, go to the return manager, select your client,  go to utilities and redownload  forms, recreate your efile  and submit.

3. Or you have a corrupted file in your program, which support will need to find and fix.

Good Luck,
