***As of 3/10/22, any return that was rejected can be retransmitted after installing the latest federal update and entering then exiting the return.
Reject Code: F8379-021
If Form 8379, 'NonrefundableCreditsAmt; in 'JointReturnAmtGrp' has a non-zero value, then it must be equal to Form 1040, 'TotalCreditsAmt'.
The IRS is working on correcting this reject. From the IRS:
Business Rule F8379-021 is erroneously rejecting returns due to an incorrect
element name in the business rule.
Please refrain from submitting a tax return with a Form 8379 attached if you
are claiming 'NonrefundableCreditsAmt' until this has been resolved.
The Business Rule will be updated in a future release for Tax Year 2021.
Rejected returns can be re-submitted when the IRS corrects the reject.
