Transmission Rejected by the IRS Portal

When a transmission is rejected at the portal, the transmitter will receive an error code that is prefixed with TPE. The corresponding error description message contains information about the errors that were detected.

When a transmission is rejected at the IRS Portal, the transmitter must fix the problem that caused the rejection and should resend the same transmission with no other changes. The only exception is if the transmission is rejected because the message size is too large (the Form Data File exceeds the 100 MB size limitation). In the case where the message size is too large, the transmitter must reduce the number of records in the Form Data File before resending the transmission.
