IRS Error Code [F8868-908]:
Rejection Message
The tax period end date of this return doesn't match with the IRS e-file database.
What does it mean?
The tax period end date in the return is incorrect. For instance, if your organization follows a calendar tax year, the tax period end date in the return should be December 31. On the other hand, if your organization follows a fiscal tax, let's say from April through March, in which case, the tax period end date would be March 31. If the return has an end date other than March 31, then the IRS will reject it.
