Facing the same issue.
Had sent the token three days back. No response.
IRS specifying below:
R0000-058-01 - An XML document that represents a binary attachment must have a valid reference to an attached file.
When I go into TT to fix, it specifies below:
An XML document that represents a binary attachment must have a valid reference to an attached
Data in the return is missing or invalid and cannot be electronically filed at this time. If Form 7206(s) are in the return, review the form(s) for accuracy and errors. If the form(s) is attached in error delete it and resubmit the return for electronic filing. If necessary, make the appropriate change and re-submit this return electronically. However, if the reject continues, file this return via U.S. Mail, print this federal return and mail it to the appropriate IRS Service Center.
Same problem on desktop version. Looks like the pdf forms transmitted by TurboTax does not meet the format specs. I tried to delete Form 7206 but it just regenerates again and there does not appear to be anyway to delete it. Looks like we have to wait for TurbiTax to fix the problem or mail the return in.
As of 03/18/2024, IRS still rejecting.

The development team has been made aware of the e-filing rejection code that seems related to Form 7206. They are working to resolve this and request that you use the link in the following TurboTax help article to register your email address for notifications. The expectation is that this will be resolved in the March 29th program update.
Why is TurboTax adding an incomplete Form 7206 when I'm not required to file it?
Received software update for TT 2003 Home and Business for Mac.
E-filed after the update. Got rejected by IRS.
Issue related to 7206 e-filing from Mac still persists as of 3/21/2024.
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.
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.

@AnnetteB6 : Can TT team help us with importing our tax file to online version and a code to e-file online? It seems there hasn't been any issues with 7206 when e-filed online.
Please call TurboTax Customer service to see if they can help with this. Here is a link: Turbo Tax Customer Service
In addition to the situations listed by AnnetteB6 Turbo Tax forces the creation of Form 7206 if you enter a Health Insurance subsidy (which resides in Form 1095-A). Even if you are not eligible for any credit under Form 7206 calculations, you still cannot delete Form 7206 as it gets instantly regenerated after deletion due to the presence of Form 1095-A with valid data in it. Deleting 1095-A might resolve this but would probably be flagged by the IRS because it is mandatory to file this form if you received a subsidy. So the problem of rejection by the IRS because of Form 7206 cannot be solved by deleting it in this situation, so the filing will be rejected.
This is so disappointing. Nothing hss chsnged in the 3:28 release as promised. Your reply layed out the 3 scenarios where a 7206 is required. You could have at least added those 3 items as questions and if none were applicable then had a checkbox where form would not be submitted. Makes me wonder how many other problems are there that we just don’t know about.
Disappointing and not the level of support one would expect from a mature product like Turbotax. Will be expecting a refund on my State e-file charge.
So why were so many of us able to file electronically after the February 15th update? My return has a 7206 because of long-term care insurance. Before Feb. 15 it rejected twice. After that update it sailed through and was accepted on the 16th. No more problems on the subject until a later date when no one could get them accepted. Clearly, you fixed it and then a later update messed it up again.
This problem is clearly on TurboTax and has nothing to do with IRS.
Form 8915-F does show as being available on the Form Availability List. However there are some software updates being implemented that have resulted in a delay. There will be two separate updates to the form. The first is anticipated on the 22nd and the second is anticipated on the 29th. After those dates, update your software if you are in the desktop version of the software, and try to proceed with your return.
@AnnetteB6 and @CatinaT1 : I have had similar problems with an unnecessary and incorrectly completed Form 7206 which I have asked for information about in another thread of the TT forum, and have never gotten a response. Can one of you please read this and reply?
My situation: I have none of the conditions that require the filing of Form 7206, but TT included it in my return anyway, in the same incomplete way described by others in this forum. When you look at the form within the TT desktop application, there is the footnote describing that the self-employed healthcare deduction is included elsewhere but not on the 7206, but that footnote doesn't appear in the saved PDF of the return. The amount of the deduction shown on my Schedule 1 was correct. I waited for the promised TT updates, but none of them ever eliminated the Form 2706 from my return, and deleting it was not possible. Eventually, on March 10th, I decided to try to efile to see if I got the error message many have described. I did not--my efile was accepted.
My questions: Does the fact that my return was accepted indicate that the Form 7206 wasn't transmitted after all? Or is there some other explanation as to why mine went through and others are still reporting an error? If the form was transmitted incorrectly, is TurboTax in communication with the IRS to inform them that returns efiled through TurboTax may have this form included erroneously, but that it does not effect the accuracy of the return? Are you planning any other steps to help resolve any future issues that may occur as the result of this TT error?
Please respond to these questions with as much specificity as possible.
Thank you.
Having the same issue with an incorrect(?) form 7206 (blank line 1, but Schedule 1 line 17 has a different, non-zero amount) that I can't get rid of. I have a 1095-A, ticked the check box for self-employed and purchased a marketplace plan... using TT Online so I can't see the form view to confirm or deny the existence of a footnote. All i know is that my review copy right before the filing screens have no footnote.
There are two separate issues with form 7206.
@jknr It looks like you have the issue of 7206 not matching Schedule 1. This is a know issue. You can sign up for updates here: Why isn't my MAGI on Form 8582 not including my full self-employment health deduction?
@le-impot Are you getting a reject?

I signed up for updates there just to be informed, but I don't have Form 8582 whatsoever.
Actually, from those three bullet points you posted, I shouldn't even need a 7206? Only one source of SE income, no form 2555, and no long term care insurance.
One of the more frustrating aspects of this entire situation is the the experts on this forum do not appear to actually read customer posts, and as a result their "answers" are often both repetitive and unhelpful.
Please re-read my previous post, as it contains all of the facts and all of my questions. But to recap, I have the same issue as @jknr -- I am not required to file Form 7206, my self-employed health insurance deduction should be calculated using the worksheet. Nonetheless, TT is using Form 7206, and Line 1 is incorrectly blank, although the amount of the deduction on Schedule 1 Line 17 is correct. No I did not get a reject. My efile was accepted. What might this indicate? Is it possible that perhaps the superfluous and incomplete Form 7206 wasn't transmitted with my return even though it is included in the saved PDF version? If that's the case, it might relieve some of my worry. I'd also like to know if TT has communicated to the IRS that returns filed with TT might contain this incorrect form, so as to minimize the potential for future problems for us users.
And also like @jknr , I have no idea what the update link you sent will do for me, as I do not have a Form 8582-the problem is that the figures on 7206 and Schedule 1 don't match.
Thoughts?
I apologize le-impot. I did read your question, but mistook you for another poster when I went to answer.
I do not have answers to many of your questions. I would suggest you get a Transcript of your return and determine if the form was included and if everything is calculated correctly. If it is incorrect, your return can be amended.
IRS Individual Online Account
Taxpayers with a Social Security number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number can create or access their IRS Individual Online Account to get information they need to file their return.
With an IRS Individual Online Account, people can:
@CatinaT1 : Thanks for this information. I looked at the IRS website regarding getting a transcript and it looks like it will be several more weeks before I can request one, so I suppose I will have to wait until then.
To follow up on your comment about filing an amended return: If Form 7206 was included, it was not necessary. The amount of the Self-Employed Health Insurance Deduction was correctly shown in the right place on Schedule 1 so the resulting tax return is correct, and the only change in an amended return would be to not include a form that was never required in the first place. Is that even possible? I would literally be filing the exact same return minus a form which wasn't used to calculate anything in it in the first place.
If that is the case you would not need to file an amendment.
So, in that case, is there actually an open ticket/bug report for a glitched 7206 with a blank line 1/unnecessary form 7206? My Schedule 1 actually having an amount already would seem to imply 7206 isn't needed to begin with. Again, it can't be deleted - it instantly regenerates if I try.
