I attempted to file my U.S. Federal taxes via Free Fillable Forms, and got a rejection for the following reasons:
Field/Xpath: /efile:Return[1]/efile:ReturnData[1]/efile:WagesNotShownSchedule[1]/efile:WagesNotShownSch[1]/efile:WagesNotShownAmt[1]
Issue : Business Rule X0000-005 - The XML data has failed schema validation.
Field/Xpath: /efile:Return[1]/efile:ReturnHeader[1]/efile:SelfSelectPIN[1]/efile:PrimaryPriorYearPIN[1]
Issue : Business Rule X0000-005 - The XML data has failed schema validation.
Now how can I correct these? I entered the numbers from the paperwork, rounded down as per prior years, and I noticed that dollar and cent amounts were rounded to the nearest dollar rather than simply down. And I need to know how to retrieve or create an appropriate PIN for federal tax returns.
I also find the error messages disappointing; I expect to need to see error messages, and I'm familiar with XML as a software developer, but to a usability person the English translation of "Business Rule X0000-005 - The XML data has failed schema validation." is "We don't know how to appropriately communicate with the general public."
So what have I run aground on? For the first issue, do I need to re-enter my wages in dollars and cents? And for the second one, how can I retrieve, create, etc. a working PIN?
--EDIT--
The PIN issue is now resolved, partly thanks to @Eric's suggestion. However, after going through and checking and correcting my W2 information, I still get:
Field/Xpath: /efile:Return[1]/efile:ReturnData[1]/efile:WagesNotShownSchedule[1]/efile:WagesNotShownSch[1]/efile:WagesNotShownAmt[1]
Issue : Business Rule X0000-005 - The XML data has failed schema validation.
Also, when I am on the main screen (1040), the "Do the Math" button is active but the "Done with this form" button is inactive, and nothing I do seems to seems to make it active.
Advice?
