10428: EF Reject FPYMT

How do I resolve rejects FPYMT-071, FPYMT-072, or FPYMT-074?

FPYMT rejects come from the IRS, and occur when the requested payment date for electronically paying a return liability is outside of what the IRS considers to be an acceptable date range.

To avoid these rejects on returns with a PMT screen completed, if a return is e-filed:

• on or before the due date, in the Requested payment date field enter a date that is:
  • on or before the due date
  • but not more than five days prior to the date you e-file the return.

  Example: a return due April 15 and filed April 1 could request a payment date between and including March 27 and April 15.

• after the due date, in the Requested payment date field enter a date that is:
  • on or before the date you e-file the return
  • but not more than five days prior to the date you e-file the return.

  Example: a return due April 15 and filed April 16 could request a payment date between and including April 10 and April 16.

The exact text of these rejects are detailed below: 

FPYMT-071-01

'RequestedPaymentDt' in the IRS Payment Record must not be more than 5 days prior to the received date.

FPYMT-072-01

If the return is received on or before the due date of the return, then the 'RequestedPaymentDt' in the IRS Payment Record must be on the due date or before the due date.

FPYMT-074-01

If the return is received after the due date of the return, then the 'RequestedPaymentDt' in the IRS Payment Record must not be later than the date the return was received.
