1040 E-file errors

F1040-034-05 e-file 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 F1040-34-05)
This error can result from an override on Form 1040 line 17, or by an IRS error.

Solution

  1. Go to the Form view and select the 1040 folder.
  2. Check for overrides on line 17. Overrides appear in red italics.
    1. If there's an override, delete it by right-clicking the number and selecting
      Delete Override
      . If you don't delete the override, you'll need to file on paper.
    2. If there's no override, you'll need to file on paper.
The IRS has had problems with this error in the past. It's possible that everything in the return is correct, but the IRS is rejecting the return mistakenly. You still need to file these returns on paper.
