3703 e-file error
Since this is a combined report, the 05-165 form is required to be filed.
The reject occurs because the 05-165 is not required with the 2nd extension. As such, we don’t send it with the 2nd extension e-file. If Texas has no record of the 1st extension being e-filed, it reads the 2nd extension as the 1st and expects the 05-165.
Solution 1
- Contact the state and provide the submission ID of the 1st extension.
- Once the state corrects the issue of the 1st extension on their side, you can recreate the TX 2nd extension and resubmit.
- Contact the Texas Comptroller at 800-442-3453.
Solution 2
If the 1st extension is not e-filed, consider paper-filing the 2nd extension.
Solution 3: 2nd extension
The 2nd Texas extension e-file doesn't require Form 05-165 because it was already included in the 1st Texas extension.
- Go to .
- In theCombined Reportsection, selectBlank.
- Recompute and recreate the 2nd Texas extension e-file, then resubmit.
- After the extension is submitted and accepted, you can set the Combined Report option back toYes.
note
If the 1st extension was paper filed, the 2nd extension must be paper filed as well.
