+Issues:+
After sending in the file to the IRS, the user recieved a message about the file format. There were two errors:
#1 of 2
Your records are not a fixed length of 750 bytes per record or your record lengths vary within the file. If you use carriage return/line feeds, they must be in positions 749-750.
Refer to Publication 1220 or contact your software company or service provider for further information.
Record sequence number 2 is the first known record containing this error.
#2 of 2
Your A record is missing or isn t the second record in the file.
Refer to Publication 1220 or contact your software company or service provider for further information.
**ReminderPlease fix the errors in your file and send a replacement as soon as possible to avoid late filing penalties. Refer to Publication 1220 for additional information. If you have any questions, please call toll-free at 1-866-455-7438 or email us at fire@IRS.gov
+Acceptance:+
So basically, issue one was that not all of the lines were 750 characters long, which in looking at the file, that is correct.
The second issue is that there isn't an A record in the file that is used to have the payers information according to the Publication 1220
I have attached the file
