F1040-034-07 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 F1040-34-07)

Cause

This can be caused by an override on Form 1040 line 25, withholding on a form that can't be e-filed (such as Form 1042-S or 8288-A), or by an IRS error.

Solution

  1. Go to
    Tax Forms
    .
  2. Select
    Federal
    .
  3. Select
    1040 - Income Tax Return
    and check line 25 for an override:
    1. If it is overridden, remove the override, do a
      Full Recompute
      , re-create the e-file, and resubmit the return.
    2. If there isn't an override, you'll need to paper file.
      note
      It's most likely due to withholding on a form or other source document that can't be attached 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 is still rejecting the return. You'll need to paper files these returns.
