Transmission Rejected by the AIR Program

Replacement transmissions must be filed when a transmission is rejected by the AIR. When the AIR rejects the transmission, the error code returned to the transmitter is prefixed with AIR. Beginning with processing year 2016, the AIR System includes submission level rejections along with Transmission level rejections. None of the records included in a transmission/submission that is rejected are maintained in the IRS data stores. Thus, when a transmission is rejected by the IRS, it must be replaced in its entirety.
