MarkM Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 All of my 7004s efiled today are getting rejected with: MEFUSX0000-5 XML Error The XML data has failed schema validation. The Submission Type information specified in the IRS Submission Manifest must match one of the submission type supported by the Modernized e-File system. The XML data has failed schema validation. I efiled a bunch of 7004s last week successfully. This error is just coming on today's extensions. My program and forms are up-to-date as well. Does anyone know what this is? Quote
rfassett Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 No - I don't know, but wish I did. I just had 3 corporate and a partnerhip efiles reject with the same message. I just resubmitted and should know in a few minutes if they go through. Quote
Maribeth Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 No - I don't know, but wish I did. I just had 3 corporate and a partnerhip efiles reject with the same message. I just resubmitted and should know in a few minutes if they go through. I sent 12 extensions on Saturday and still have no acks back. I tried to submit another 7004 this morning, got the screwy server notice and then resent it. It went through okay. But no acks. And no IRS postmark dates. Scary. Maribeth Quote
MarkM Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Posted March 17, 2008 I recreated and resubmitted the ones that were rejected with the above error, and now those 7004s are coming back with this rejection error: EFC11 ATX EFC Reject Seq: 0 ATX EFC Reject Federal E-File Extension is already accepted or pending acknowledgement. Normally the software won't let you recreate an eFile if it is pending or acknowledged status. Maybe the ATX Efile people are out boozing for St. Paddy's day and forgot to show up for work! Quote
Jack from Ohio Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 I gave up and mailed them all. Quote
MJG CPA Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 I just had 2 1120's rejected with the "failed schema validation" error. I updated the program, recreated the e-files, and resubmitted them 10 min ago. PLEASE tell me they will go through. You guys that were having trouble earlier - did yours finally go thru?? Quote
rfassett Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 The 1065 kicked back but that is not a big deal today. The 3 Corps are setting at "Validated by EFC" status - been there for about 5 hours. We went ahead and extended them (via paper extension) just in case. Quote
Maribeth Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 The 1065 kicked back but that is not a big deal today. The 3 Corps are setting at "Validated by EFC" status - been there for about 5 hours. We went ahead and extended them (via paper extension) just in case. I printed them all out and mailed them certified yesterday. Good thing I did because this morning I got two back rejected with that "schema" error. Really strange, as these two that were rejected went through just fine last year. Something is wrong with the CCH server, that's for sure. Maribeth Quote
