I e-filed with TurboTax 2021 Business for Desktop and got this reject error: Description: Every attached file must be referenced by the XML document that represents it.

"What needs to be done:
This electronic filing reject is the rtesult of a defect in the tax program. This issue will be corrected in the next TTBiz release.
Wait for the next release, please download the latest version of the program. It may be necessary to re-attach the PDF file(s) again, save and re-submit the return.
We apologize for the inconvenience."

Looks like its suggesting that I wait for an update but I wanted to see if anyone else had something like this happen?

You would need to wait for the update before proceeding with completing your return or you can follow the instructions in this link here to manually update the software. Comment back if you are still having issues.

Since the error is a result of a defect in the program, you will need to wait for the update to be ready before re-submitting the rejected return. We thank you for your patience.

I got this message shown below. Not sure if TT will inform me when the new release is out or how do I find out? Then when I download does that mean I will have to do my taxes from the beginning again? And when can I now finish my business taxes? It is currently Feb 1 11:15pm ET

Once the new update is released, the software will prompt you to update, the next time you try to open your software. Other ways you can update is to click on Check for Updates, inside of the software, download a Manual Update, or uninstall/reinstall the program.

Appears the update went out today. I have e-filed and it did not reject it right away like it used to before. I assume it fixed the issue.
