🔍 X0000-005: The XML data has failed schema validation (integer value issue)
This message means your XML failed schema validation because a field expected to be an integer contains an invalid value (for example, "*").
Where it points: /efile:Return[1]/efile:ReturnData[1]/efile:IRS1040ScheduleC[1]/efile:OtherExpenseDetail[1]/efile:Amt[1]
⚠️ Before You Begin
Before you re-try e-filing, you will need to review the Schedule C “Other expenses” amount details and look for any special characters that may be causing the invalid value.
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Check Schedule C → Other Expenses
Use this when you need to find and remove invalid characters in the amount field.
Go to Sch C, Other expenses, and check for any special characters.
❌ Common Errors
If you see the error mentioning that "*" is not a valid value for integer, it typically means the amount field contains a character that is not allowed for numeric data. Remove the special character(s) and ensure the value is entered as a proper number.
