IRS Reject Code X0000-005 for Partnership Representative Info
Desktop · Written guide Content date 1 min read
In a partnership return, if the partnership representative information has been inadequately entered, the return will get a schema reject such as this one when electronically filed:
Reject Code: X0000-005 | Category: XML Error | Severity: Reject and Stop
The XML data has failed schema validation. cvc-complex-type.2.4.b. The content of element 'EntityPRDesignationGrp' is not complete. One of '{"http://www.irs.gov/efile":IndividualDesigneeApptGrp}' is expected.
Alternatively, the return may receive a validation error instead of a reject:
The element 'EntityPRDesignationGrp' in namespace 'http://www.irs.gov/efile' has invalid child element 'USAddress' in namespace 'http://www.irs.gov/efile'. List of possible elements expected: 'BusinessName' in namespace 'http://www.irs.gov/efile'.
To correct a partnership return that has received a reject or a validation error for the partnership representative information, from the Main Menu of the partnership return (Form 1065) select:
- Schedule B

Is the Partnership Representative an Individual?
