Texas Webfile Diagnostic
To e-file a Texas franchise return, either the prior year revenue or Webfile number is required to be input. There are three different Webfile number types a taxpayer could have, each beginning with two letters followed by six numbers: RT for Sales Tax, XT for franchise, or FQ for "Franchise Questionnaire" when an entity is first set up. Of these, only the XT number is valid for e-filing the franchise return. I would love to see a critical Texas e-file diagnostic added when the Webfile number input has anything entered other than XT followed by six digits. This would save a lot of e-filing rejections.
