Filing form 1065 electronically (Federal & NJ 1065). Same problem here. I uninstalled, reinstalled etc. I also installed (from scratch) to a different computer that had no Intuit product on it whatsoever. Same result: "FAILED VALIDATION Error Code 54". This morning, I tried again, same error message. I then electronically filed the Federal 1065 by itself and it went through. I waited until I received confirmation from IRS that the federal 1065 was accepted and filed NJ-1065. Result: same error message. Based on other postings on this subject, it seems that the problem is being caused by something in the State return portion of the software. Maybe Intuit can check the software code for the State products to finally fix this issue in advance of the tax return filing deadline.
