🔍 New York efile Rejection: 02708 - "Document received date is before Postmark date."" for a 1040 return
NY Reject 02708 - Document received date is before Postmark date
Payment date must be the date the e-file is being transmitted.
⚠️ Before You Begin
Make sure you have the correct transmission date for when you are sending the 1040 e-file.
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Confirm the correct payment/transmission date
Use this when you need to ensure the e-file dates match what the state expects.
Set the payment date to the date the e-file is being transmitted.
Step 2: Re-submit the e-file after updating the date
Use this after correcting the date that caused the rejection.
After updating the payment date to match the transmission date, re-submit the 1040 e-file.
✅ Success!
The rejection should be resolved once the payment date reflects the actual e-file transmission date.
❌ Common Errors
- Using an earlier date for payment date that causes the document received date to appear before the postmark date.
- Not matching the transmission date when the e-file was actually sent.
