return keeps getting rejected.

[Gbrad]

Hello- my federal & state returns keep getting rejected

At first it said I was missing an XML binary attachment and wait and refile on or after March 8th, which I did

That also got rejected and I need to check forms 7206 which I thought I did but it got rejected again- what am I missing?

You should not still be experiencing this issue. 

Make sure you have ran all updates: see this FAQ.

If you still are not able to solve this, please call TurboTax Customer service.  Here is a link:  Turbo Tax Customer Service

[Gbrad]

I've run all updates, even un-installed then re-installed TurboTax per customer service, deleted the entries and re-entered and returns still rejected.

When will there be a fix?

@Gbrad 

What is the rejection message? Quote all of it exactly.

[Gbrad]

R0000-058-01 - An XML document that represents a binary attachment must have a valid reference to an attached file. This relates to my forms 7206

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?

Its March 31 and the recent update didn't fix it.  I tried filing yesterday and get the same error message.  When is the next update? This has been persisting for a while now.

The development team has given us an update concerning 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.

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.

I've deleted Form 7406 in an attempt to get around the R0000-058-01 "XML Binary File" rejection Error.   BUT, now TurboTax won't let me resubmit because I've already reached the 5 Submission Maximum.  HELP!

How are we going to know when your developers think they've fixed this issue?  There was another update over the weekend but I have no idea what it was "fixing".  I filed an extension for my return to give you time to fix this issue so I could file electronically.  I do NOT want to mail my tax returns which is why I use Turbo Tax.  I already paid for Turbo Tax and I don't want to have to pay for sending my return Certified via USPS (or any other carrier).  Am I supposed to just keep trying?  Turbo Tax needs to be more forthcoming on updating us for this issue.  I am not the only one who filed an extension so they can file their return electronically.  How can we be notified to attempt to file again?

If you were able to sign up to be notified of updates for this rejection code, you will receive an email when it has been resolved. That signup link is no longer available, however. 

Otherwise, you will need to test the e-file process periodically to see if an update has been posted (typically on Fridays after midnight).

If you must include Form 7206, your final option is to print and mail your return.
