I e-file'd my return with form 7206 using TT Premier and it was rejected yesterday. This is the error I see in the e-file status - "An XML document that represents a binary attachment must have a valid reference to an attached file". 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 forms for accuracy and errors. "
I see form 7206 in TT but, the message indicates it most likely is not being sent to IRS. Any workarounds available other than the paper submission of the return?

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.
Use the steps in the following TurboTax help articles to delete Form 7206:
How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online?
How do I delete a tax form in TurboTax Desktop (Windows or Mac)?
I found this under Intuit TurboTax Help:
"Some TurboTax customers may be experiencing an issue/error because TurboTax is adding an incomplete Form 7206 when customers are not required to file it after entering a 1095-A with the box checked for "I'm self-employed and bought a Marketplace plan".

Good luck!

You won't be able to e-file until this happens.
Got the same error last Friday and TT tech support had no answer after going through the file. No new updates out as of Monday at 5PM EST and I was just rejected again, same error.

@itsnewcva @Jbeck @Seydawg64 the 7206 should be available if you updated your program . You will have to delete the 7206 that was already completed, then go back through the interview related to the 7206 related to healthcare plans though to complete it correctly. It was supposed to be updated in the 3/29 release. As I don't find it outstanding any longer, I believe update went out already.
The issue would be the bad 7206 file is still attached and MUST be removed.
I tried it again after updating TT to the latest version and the e-file got rejected again for the same reason. Looks like it's not yet resolved by TT.
My TT was already up-to-date, there had been no update to download. I deleted the Form 7206 and went back through the interview and re-inputted all the SE Health Insurance amounts. I Efiled and it was rejected again. I will wait for the update to come and see if they fixed it.
@maglib I have not been able to delete form 7206 as TT adds it back right away with the exact same content as before. I did try going thru the interview related to hc one more time with the hopes of getting it to regen the form but no luck.
@itsnewcva so the issue is with the form name that was attached, did you delete all that was related to Form 7206, if you go to your schedule C, what shows on line 15 and the support for it is from 7206? did you try to e-file again after going through it as it's just a naming convention issue? Do any errors show in forms mode? I'm sorry for putting you through this. I don't work for TT. Possibly it will be 3/29 update. In case it isn't the next thing is doing a diagnostic file for TT employees which is simple to do.
@maglib I managed to delete form 7206 and I went thru the Interview for HC again but, this time no form 7206 but, Self-employed health insurance deduction in Schedule 1 (line 17) is blank.
I got the self-employment health ins deduction back now - I guess I forgot to check the 'I personally paid health insurance...' box in K1. But, the underlying issue with form 7206 still exists. On e-filing still getting the same error "An XML document that represents a binary attachment must have a valid ref to an attached file..."
I see this message at the bottom of form 7206.
A self-employed health insurance adjustment of $<amount> from premiums paid through an exchange is included as an adjustment to income but does not appear on these worksheets
I also got a message from TT that this issue has not yet been fixed.
@Jbeck @Seydawg64 @itsnewcva Just found out from a TT specialist this is planned fix later this week.
