E-File Validation Error Containing
🔍 What This Guide Covers
This guide explains the E-File Validation error and how to fix it when you see issues related to duplicate Description fields.
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Recognize the cause: the error can appear even when the return looks normal. The actual issue is that somewhere in the return there are two description fields with the exact same name in the Description Name field.
Fix the issue by doing one of the following:
Combine the two descriptions into one field, and combine the figure amounts as well.
Change the names of the descriptions slightly so they are different. For example, change:
Description Example, Description Example to Description Example 1, Description Example 2.
