Fed & State e-File Rejected (xml data failed schema validation)

same issue happening here, same error, same "fix" offered by turbotax.

I am having the same issue with my tax return.   I submitted my son's return and it went through.

Same problem here in Wisconsin.

Most likely an error with the Federal return.  if there was only a problem with the state the Fed would probably go through.  A federal rejection automatically results in a state rejection.  since this seems to be a recent issue, I would wait til Monday to submit to see if TT fixes the issue or has a solution. 

The XML data has failed schema validation. The reason for this error is

The most common reasons taxpayers receive X0000-005 XML Schema Validation Errors:
1. You incorrectly used one or more of those little grey boxes (Tax Literal Fields). The forms contain small
grey boxes that appear to the left of where you put your figures. These areas appear throughout the form.
a. You should not put any data into these areas unless the form instructions tell you to do so.
b. Properly entering a Tax Literal usually requires input into a description field and a corresponding
amount field. The description field is usually the first Tax Literal field and may accept alpha and
numeric characters. The "Amount" Tax Literal fields only accept numeric characters.
c. The program will only allow one Tax Literal (a description field and an amount field) per line.
d. If instructed to enter a Tax Literal, you must enter the Tax Literal exactly as it appears in the form
instructions. Include any capital letters, but do not include any quotation marks. There are tables
below that show the acceptable Tax Literals; however, you should always consult the instructions
for the form you are working on.
2. All the necessary lines/boxes of the electronic W-2 were not complete
3. Taxpayers put erroneous information (other federal withholding) 

here are some other possibilities

IRS rejection X0000-005 occurs when something inside the return is not conforming to IRS standards.

There are several possibilities that can cause this rejection since it covers nearly every field in a return.

Tips for troubleshooting the return:
Check for extra spaces between letters or words.
Check for symbols that may have been entered, such as:
Ampersand (&)
Dashes (-)
Asterisk (*)
@@ sig
Commas (,)
Check for text in fields that are numeric.
Check for information entered on the wrong line.
Check for phone numbers that are incomplete.
Check for NA, N/A, or NONE in fields that are not required.
Check address fields to make sure every line is blank if an address is not required.
Check address fields to make sure every line is filled in if the address is required.
Check for duplicate descriptions. Each description of property or asset must be unique.
Check fields that have an amount entered and requires a Type or Description of the amount.
Check codes on the W-2 and make sure the letters are capitalized.

Same thing - trying to file federal and Arizona together

Same error. Will wait 24hrs to resubmit per TurboTax support.

Me too.  Three failures.

If I have to print this out, how do I get my money back for e-filing??

Well, if adding my voice helps raise awareness, I had the same problem last night as well. Two rejections for XML Data Failed Schema Validation. Filing Federal and North Carolina here.

Two rejections at this point.

Not getting a lot of bang for my $170 bucks. Though they did happily ask if i'd recommend TurboTax to a friend.  

Not today, Satan, not today.

Same problem from KY. I've submitted twice now and both times they have been rejected with this same message. Hopefully, Turbotax will fix this error promptly.
