efile error about the EFIN number on the federal code is not registered

I have submitted a return 5 times and it has been rejected 5 times, for the same reason which is the EFIN is not registered, but it is because I had to submit it for approval before using the software.  It also says the return header needs to have the value "online filer" and that I need to update it with the IRS.  Has anyone else had this issue?

Do you have an EFIN from IRS? If not, no e-file.

If you have an EFIN, register it with ProSeries https://accountants.intuit.com/support/en-us/help-article/business-address/register-efin-intuit-e-filing/L3GaFnuWy_US_en_US?uid=m7nnprsd$srcG4T

Yes, I do have an EFIN and I have registered it with INTUIT.  Everything matches name, address and numbers what the IRS has is what Intuit has.  I cannot figure out what is causing this error.

if you've done all that, maybe you need to contact the IRS eservices desk. It might be something on IRS' end.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Yes, we also just started receiving this error message today too.

We've been e-filing returns all along without issue.
