1095 XML File Validation: Middle Name Error

ez1095 ACA software allows customers to validate XML files before they submit the efile documents to IRS.

Step 1: Error description

ERROR (Line 36): The 'urn:us:gov:treasury:irs:ext:aca:air:7.0:PersonMiddleNm' element is invalid - The value 'M.' is invalid according to its datatype 'urn:us:gov:treasury:irs:ext:aca:air:7.0:PersonMiddleNameType' - The Pattern constraint failed.

Step 2: Reason

Middle name initial should be one letter only.

Step 3: Solution

You can use letter for name only. You should use "M" instead of "M." for middle name initial.
