California Reject Code S0000-080: The EFIN [EFIN] in your Submission Manifest [Manifest] is not recognized as an Authorized e-file Provider by FTB.
California reject code S0000-080 can occur for two reasons:
- The EFIN is mistyped in program configuration.
- The Electronic Return Originator (ERO) is not registered to electronically file tax returns with the state of California.
In order to be enrolled in the California e-file Program, the ERO needs to be an accepted participant in the IRS e-file program. California receives confirmation within 7-10 business days after the IRS accepts the ERO into its program.
If you're an ERO and you've received your EFIN from the IRS, liaise with the California FTB for assistance. See here for more information.
