Error: Expecting: USAddress, ForeignAddress
When e-filing a 1120 New York City return, validation fails because the Filer element is missing a required USAddress or ForeignAddress.
Error message
Validation failed on [FILE_ID]: Form: ReturnHeaderState Error: Expecting: USAddress, ForeignAddress. Element Name: Filer XPath: /ReturnState[1]/ReturnHeaderState[1]/Filer[1] XML Fragment: ****** Field Key: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 Error Code: [CODE] Error Reason: Content for element '{http://www.irs.gov/efile}Filer' is incomplete according to the DTD/Schema. Expecting: {http://www.irs.gov/efile}USAddress, {http://www.irs.gov/efile}ForeignAddress.
Solution
- Go to .
- Populate either a domestic or foreign full address, but not both. Don't leave either field blank.
- Do a full recompute, then recreate the e-file.
