IRS reject code FPYMT-076-02: Payment date doesn't match the received date

The requested direct-debit payment date must equal the date the IRS receives the return - it's set automatically and can't be a date you pick.

The IRS rule, word for word

FPYMT-076-02: The 'RequestedPaymentDt' in the IRS Payment Record [IRSPayment] must equal the "Received Date".

How to fix FPYMT-076-02

  1. Open the return and go to the Payment method step.
  2. Re-save your payment method so the payment date is set to today's received date.
  3. Return to this filing, review it, and submit again.

If you filed with EasyFile2290, the rejection on your return links straight to the Payment method step with this explanation, so you don't have to look the code up.

Fix it and file again

Open the rejected return from your dashboard, correct it, and resubmit.
