E-Filing Form 1065

While trying to e-file form 1065 today, I received the following error message "Form 1065 p1-3: Item C is invalid for Electronic Filing.  You must enter a valid 6 digit Principal Business or Professional Activity Codes. Please reference Form 1065 instruction for more info".  I have used the same business code for 30+ years and has been the same code for e-filing the last 6 years.  I tried another code in similar industry and that, too, did not work.  I tried clearing the field and re-typing, thinking there was a space.  Please advise.  Form due in 14 days!

Please refer to the IRS instructions for Form 1065 at the link below.

 

The codes have changed for this tax year.

Thank you!  Must have looked at prior year documentation.

Intuit: So far the only response I seem to find is that I should hire you to do my taxes. Why did I purchase access to your software and put in so many hours entering the information myself already. I have always done my own taxes, using your program for over the past 10 years. Now, I just want to know why your filing of Form 1065 is sparking an error - how can you fix that so I do not set off an IRS alarm?

 

Many people seem to have the same question.

Frustrated!

This is the entire IRS file for how directions to the Form 1065. I thought Intuit made filing taxes easier by putting in the steps in their program. What is missing in the intuit program?
