C Corp, Maine Pass Through Entity Withholding e-File Rejection
I have a C corp client that files a return in the State of Maine. The corp received a Form 1099ME from a pass through entity (LLP) for withholding of $726. The withholding was entered on Screen 10 and a copy of the 1099ME received was attached as a PDF to the ME return on Screen 4.2. A rejection error was received (ME1120-009) indicating that the amount on line 7d did not match the amount of all 1099MEs combined. The resolution to the rejection was: Amount entered on line 8d does not equal total Maine income tax withheld from W-2G/1099ME. There is no line 8d on the Maine tax return. I called the State of Maine and they said that the amount of pass through withholding received was $726. The return shows $726 on line 7d. How do we get this fixed so that the Maine tax return does not have to be filed on paper through the US Mail?
