Axcess Tax - Upload error when electronic filing return
ISSUE: "Upload Error" when electronic filing a return in CCH Axcess Tax
SOLUTION: Remove the PDFs from the return and re-attach. The problem is that Axcess Tax is not being given an opportunity to actually attach the file first and the calculation process is interfering with the file upload.
**see notes at the bottom for other ways to resolve this issue
- Check the PDF attachment section to make sure a PDF exists, the View Attachment button should be colored and selectable
- Remove the PDFs from the return
- Attach the PDF again, but wait until the window below shows and goes away
- Calculate the return again and export it to electronic filing
*Note*: If you continue to receive the error message after following the steps above, please try the following:
- Reduce the file size
- Open the file in Adobe > Select File > Reduce file size > wait for the new file to be created
- Alternatively, print the color PDF to adobe again and change the color to B&W
- Save the PDF on your local machine from which the return is being exported (Desktop, Documents, Downloads) and attach it from there rather than a network location
- Minimize the length of the file name
