2017 & 2018 efile rejections

[ILLMAS]

"Year in Submission ID is incorrect 2019, should be 2020"

Has anybody else experience this problem when trying to submit prior years?  The fix was to delete form 8879, save and close client, re-open and re-add form and then re-efile return.  Well it hasn't work for me.

I'm pretty sure that the information causing the reject is contained on the "EF Info" form.  Delete that form, save, close, reopen, re-add that form, recreate the e-file and try again.

Remove 1040 efile form.  Then close client and add the  forms back, create e-file.

Ah the 1040 efile form, darn it, no wonder I was getting nowhere.

 

Thank you Jack

Have had this happen once till I caught on. Strange that ATX makes you get a reject b-4 you can fix it. I tried deleting it first but it just puts back the old number.
