Solution

  1. Make sure that there are no critical diagnostic messages.
  2. If using
    Practitioner PIN
    , the ERO and Taxpayer PIN numbers in the
    ELF
    screen will need to be 5 numeric characters (other than
    00000
    ).
  3. Check for statements that have a description and no amount, or an amount without a corresponding description.
  4. Check for statements that have a blank line item.
