[E-File Error Code R0000-145-08] How to resolve it?

The tax period end date in the Return Header for a return filed for tax year 2019 must match one of the following values or conditions:

  • One of the specific dates for tax year 2019 (e.g., "20191231", "20200131", "20200229", etc.),

  • 1-3 days after the beginning of the month,

  • 1-6 days before the end of the month,

  • Unless the return is a final, initial, or short-year return.

What does it mean? The tax period end date you've entered is invalid. You need to enter a date that aligns with the IRS’s accepted range, unless it’s a final, initial, or short-year return.

Resolution:

Step 1: Sign in to your account.

Step 2: Under Business Extensions - Form 7004, locate the rejected return.

Step 3: Click the "Rejected by the IRS" button for that return.

Step 4: Find the list of errors and click the "Fix Me" button for error code R0000-145-08.

Step 5: On the Tax Year page, select the "Other Tax Year" tab to correct the tax period end date.

Step 6: Review the updated details and click the "Transmit" button to re-submit your return to the IRS at no additional cost.

You’ll be updated on the status of the return once the IRS responds.
