Business Returns - Messages 0148 and 0147 Prevent e-Filing Duplicate Extensions and Returns



EF Message 0148 prevents duplicate e-filed extensions, and EF message 0147 prevents duplicate e-filed main returns.

Drake prevents the duplicate e-filing of accepted 1120, 1120-S, and 1065 extensions and returns. The red messages below are from an 1120 return.

  • Duplicate extensions. If a 7004 extension has been e-filed and accepted, red message 0148 is produced, which prevents you from selecting and transmitting the extension again:

PREVIOUSLY ACCEPTED EXTENSION: Form 7004 for this corporation has been previously e-filed and accepted by the IRS.
NOTE: This message will prevent only Form 7004 from being e-filed.

This message does not affect the ability to e-file the main return.

  • Duplicate returns. If the main return has been e-filed and accepted, EF message 0147 is produced, which prevents you from selecting and transmitting the return again:

PREVIOUSLY ACCEPTED RETURN: Form 1120 for this corporation has been previously e-filed and accepted by the IRS.
(IRS Business Rule R0000-932.)
