IRS Rejection Code R0000-117-01
If the filer has a U.S. address in the Return Header and the StateAbbreviationCd
has the value "AA," "AE," or "AP," then the CityNm
must be entered as "APO," "DPO," or "FPO."
Explanation
This rejection occurs when the IRS system expects a valid military address format but the city field does not match. If you entered “AA,” “AE,” or “AP” as your state abbreviation, you must also use “APO,” “DPO,” or “FPO” in the City field for your return or extension to be accepted.
How to Fix the Error
- Review the address portion of your electronic extension or return.
- Confirm that if the state is AA, AE, or AP, the city is entered as APO, DPO, or FPO.
- Correct the entry and resubmit your filing.
