Question

2020 Indiana state return rejected for schema error (65002 - The XML data has failed schema validation.)

Long time user of TurboTax Deluxe but first time a return has been rejected. Federal return accepted but Indiana rejected.

 

Opening up return in TurboTax provided no guidance and email alert had no "orange box" as indicated by the Help video.

 

Anybody else experiencing this or have an answer? Thanks in advance...

    Indiana has had a number of changes that has led to some rejections.  I recommend mailing in the return.  If you are doing this in response to the reject, Indiana will consider the return on time.

    Thank You DanielV01!

     

    I appreciate you weighing in on this. I have mailed the return and have taken note of your response. Again, thanks.

     

    I do wonder why these changes occurred so late in the process, given the fact that so many people e-file.
