14000: Reject X0000-029


Rejects + EF Messages

How do I resolve reject X0000-029?
 

Rule Number: X0000-029 states:

A binary attachment submitted in the PDF format must begin with the file header "%PDF-".

This reject indicates that you have attached a document to the return that is not a PDF document. Identify the document that caused the reject. Recreate it as a true PDF document and reattach it before resubmitting the return.

This reject is caused by a non- PDF document that that has been saved or renamed with a .pdf file extension. An example would be a document that was scanned as a JPG image file, where the file extension was subsequently changed to .pdf. Such a file will not open in Adobe Reader and will be rejected as a binary attachment.

See Publication 4164 for more information about IRS requirements for binary attachments.
