I feel like Ive seen someone else get this message, maybe not in here, but a different preparer messageboard.

You may want to log into your E-Services account to be sure they didnt change your EfFIN for some reason, or give them a call and speak with someone.

Adding the solution here in case anyone else makes the same mistake I did.

When applying for e-services, I incorrectly selected online provider so was issued an EFIN that corresponds to that category. The IRS was able to end date that EFIN and grant me a new EFIN as an ERO.

Once Intuit approves my new EFIN, I plan to resubmit and am hoping for great success!

What does the rejection say? Is it about your EFIN?

Thanks for quick response!

I apologize the rest of my question did not post! Yes, it is EFIN. Here is the error:

"If the first two digits of the EFIN in the IRS Submission Manifest are 10, 21, 32, 44 or 53, then 'OriginatorTypeCd' in the Return Header must have the value "OnlineFiler".

I checked on the IRS website, and it says I am approved for Modern E-File.
