    I have the same issue with the rejection of my federal and state returns for the same error message (An XML document that represents a binary attachment ...) and contacted Intuit for assistance.  They said that the problem was probably most likely with my 1099NEC's having some unacceptable characters in the filers name [&,#, etc).  I went through my 1099NEC's and made a correction to one and double checked everything.  I refiled and was again rejected by the IRS and the state.  I do have a form 7206 in my return also (which I need) and think that this is now the problem.  It appear to be OK, but how do I know what's acceptable to the IRS.  Has anyone tried completely deleting their Sch C and 7206 and recreating them?  I don't know if this would recreate an acceptable Form 7206.

    The development team has given us an update with regard to customers who are receiving the Reject Code R0000-058-01 when trying to electronically file your return.  The resolution to this situation is taking longer than expected and it may not be resolved before the tax filing deadline. 

     

    For reference, this information is from the IRS Instructions for Form 7206: 

     

    Generally, you can use the worksheet in the Form 1040 instructions to figure your deduction. However, if any of the following apply, you must use Form 7206.

     

    • You had more than one source of income subject to self-employment tax.
    • You file Form 2555.
    • You are using amounts paid for qualified long-term care insurance to figure the deduction.

     

    In order to proceed and get your return filed in a timely manner, please follow this advice:

     

    1 - If you are required to include Form 7206 as a part of your tax return based on the information above, then you need to print and mail your return.  Electronic filing will not be an option if the reject code persists. 

     

    2 - If you are not required to include Form 7206 as part of your tax return, then you can attempt to delete the Form 7206 and try electronically filing your return once again.  If the form cannot be deleted or you still get the reject code, then you need to print and mail your return.
