1040 E-file errors

IND-077 e-file error

If 'TotalPaymentsAmt' in the return is greater than 'TotalTaxAmt' and [the sum of 'AppliedToEsTaxAmt' and 'EsPenaltyAmt' is less than 'OverpaidAmt'], then 'RefundAmt' must have a non-zero value.
You'll get this error when the amount on the overpayment amount is greater than the sum of the overpayment applied to the estimated tax and amount refunded.)

Solution

You'll need to paper file a return with this error or suppress the penalties.
To suppress the Form 2210 penalty, FTF, or FTP penalties and to enable you to e-file the return:
  1. Go to the
    Pen
     screen, in the
    Payments
     folder.
  2. In the Penalties, Interest and Exceptions section, select
    1: Suppress Form 2210 penalty on return
     from the
    Form 2210
     dropdown list.
    note
    If you suppress the Form 2210 penalty, the IRS will calculate the underpayment penalty (including any interest and penalties) and send a bill to the taxpayer.
  3. Mark the 
    Late filing interest (Int)
    ,
    Failure to pay (FTP)
    , or
    Failure to file (FTF)
     checkboxes to suppress the other penalties and interest.
    note
    If you suppress the penalties, the IRS may calculate the penalties and send a bill to the taxpayer.
