Federal Rejects FPYMT-050-01 and FPYMT-071-01
Software reference · Written guide Content date 1 min read
The IRS has several rejects regarding the individual tax return and individual extension request payment date in relation to the filing date. Two are as follows:
FPYMT-050-01 (for an extension request)
If IRS Payment Record is present, then 'RequestedPaymentDt' in the IRS Payment Record must be on or before the due date but not more than 5 days prior to the received date, unless Form 4868 Line 8 checkbox or Line 9 checkbox is checked.
FPYMT-071-01 (for an individual tax return)
'RequestedPaymentDt' in the IRS Payment Record must not be more than 5 days prior to the received date.
As the rejects indicate, the payment date cannot be more than 5 days earlier than the transmission date. Additionally, for a return or extension being transmitted before the filing deadline, the payment date cannot be after the filing deadline.
Fixing this reject involves retransmitting the return or extension with a valid payment date:
- For a return or extension being filed before the filing deadline, a valid payment date is not more than 5 days in the past and not after the filing deadline.
- For a return being filed after the filing deadline, a valid payment date is not more than 5 days in the past and not after the day being transmitted. The simplest fix is to make the payment date equal to the day you are transmitting.
