SC-F1040-003-01 e-file error

If Schedule C (Form 1040), Part II, Line 9 'CarAndTruckExpensesAmt' has a non-zero value, then Schedule C (Form 1040), Part IV, Line 43 'VehiclePlacedInServiceDt' must have a value or Form 4562 must be present in the return. (rule SC-F1040-003-01)
The business rule indicates that an amount was forced on Schedule C, Line 9 -
Car and truck expenses
 and a date is missing on Schedule C, Page 2, Line 43 or Form 4562 wasn't attached to the return. The IRS requires either Form 4562 or completed questions on Schedule C, Page 2 if there's an entry for car and truck expenses.

 field. Also, review for vehicles that don't have business mile entries.
