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.
