Error: The field ‘RoutingTransitNum’ with value '999999999', data format is not correct

This e-file validation error occurs when the routing transit number doesn't meet IRS format requirements. The routing number must be 9 digits and begin with specific two-digit prefixes (01 through 12 or 21 through 32). A trapped routing number is a placeholder value (like 999999999) that must be replaced with valid bank information.
