F1040-034-05 e-file error
Error
Form 1040, ‘WithholdingTaxAmt’ must be equal to the sum of the following: [(1) all ‘WithholdingAmt’ with corresponding ‘WithholdingCd’ having the value "FORM 1099" in the attached [OtherWithholdingStatment] and (2) all Forms W-2, ‘WithholdingAmt’ and (3) all Forms W-2G, ‘FederalIncomeTaxWithheldAmt’ and (4) Form 8959, ‘AddlMedcrRRTTaxWithholdingAmt’ and (5) ‘TotalAmt’ in [BackupWhSchedulesK1Statement] and (6) all Forms RRB 1042-S, ‘FederalIncomeTaxWithheldAmt’ and (7) all Forms SSA 1042-S (‘NetTaxWithheldAmt’ if it has a non-zero value, otherwise ‘FederalIncomeTaxWithheldAmt’)] unless Form 8958 is present in the return. When evaluating this, a tolerance of $5.00 is allowed. (value, rule F1040-34-05).
Cause
This can be caused by an override on Form 1040 line 17, withholding on a form that can't be e-filed (such as Form 1042-S or 8288-A), or by an IRS error.
Solution
- SelectTax Forms.
- SelectFederal.
- Select1040 — Income Tax Return.
- Check line 17 for an override.
- If it is overridden, remove the override, do aFull Recompute, re-create the e-file, and resubmit the return.
- If there isn't an override, you'll need to paper file.noteThis may be due to withholding on a form or other source document that you can't attach to the electronic file.
note
The IRS has had problems with this error in the past. It's possible everything in the return is correct, but the IRS rejects the return incorrectly. These returns still need to be paper filed.
