Hi there, Business5. Let's ensure the information you've entered on the form is correct. Let me add some details below.

 

kindly check these information if they are accurate:

 

  • Name format: (Last Name, First Name)
  • Use IRS Guidelines: Refer to this article for guidelines
  • Check for Special Characters: Remove any special characters
  • Confirm Spelling: Double-check the spelling of the taxpayer's name

 

If everything is correct, I suggest contacting our QuickBooks Online support team. They can check your account and determine why your form was rejected.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Login to QBO account.
  2. Click the Help icon.
  3. Select the Search tab.
  4. Enter Contact Support in the search field section.
  5. Click Contact Us.
  6. Select Chat or Callback to speak with an agent.

 

Additionally, you can refer to this article on handling e-file and e-pay rejections in QuickBooks.

 

Furthermore, visit this article for guidance if you need to cancel or delete a tax payment in QBO.

 

It's important to file your tax forms on time. If you have further concerns or challenges, don't hesitate to reply. We'll be right here to help.

Hello expert

I have existing customer since 2021 

Prior years have no issue efiling under DBA  instead of legal name ( sole proprietorship  )

This year Q1-25 ÍRS rejected code R000-240 

Efiling state CA forms and Fed and CA  e- payments went through. 

i called support QBO and advised that QBO end issue after I upload document to verify identity my client 

Today I retried to efile again and irs rejected the same error 

if the change legal name should be last name, first name . Right ? Why QBO support not try yet?

I am also having this problem out of the blue.  I've been submitting these forms through QBO for several years and it's been setup properly.  I have been unable to get ahold of QBO Support for a week.  I get to the point that it says a person will be on soon and no one shows up.
