Error

[MANIFEST-010-01] The value of the Manifest 'TestFileCd' must equal the value stored in the IRS database governing the status of the 'FormsTypeCd'.

1: For Production Submission: (*****)

If you submit 1095 & 1094 XML files to the IRS ACA production site while your TCC status is still in T (TEST) status, you will receive an error message.

#2. IRS has NOT updated your TCC status in the production site database even they have accepted your files and approved it.

Step 3: If you have submitted files for ACA testing and your file has been accepted by IRS, please:

- Call IRS at 1-866-937-4130 to change the status to "Production" after IRS accepted your testing efile. If they don't give you call back in 48 hours. Please contact them again.

Step 4: After your TCC moves to P status, wait for 1 to 2 business days, make minor modification, generate new files and submit again.

4.1 It will take 1 to 3 business days for IRS to update their production sever after the TCC status changes on TCC server.

4.2 Make minor change: IRS will not accept the same form information they declined before. You need to update your forms and geneate the new XML files. If you have no data to correct on 1095 forms, you can make some minor change of your company setup to update 1094 form. ie: change "rd" to "road" for contact address. or change contact name.

4.3 Generate the new XML files, validate and submit the XML files to IRS ACA Production site.
