E-File Validation Error: The 'http://www.irs.gov/efile:WithholdingCd' element is invalid - The value '' is invalid according to its datatype 'String' - The Pattern constraint failed

---

This error will occur when an EIN is entered on 1040 Wkt 9, however, a code was not entered in the Code column.

Example of Codes areForm 1099' or '1065 Schedule K-1' or '1120S Schedule K-1

 

To fix the error remove the EIN or enter a code, you can also override the code column to enter the correct code. However it is best to enter the information on the correct source document example 1099, 1065, Sch K-1 or 1120S Sch K-1, etc, this way the withheld amount will flow to 1040 Wkt 9
