I’m trying to upload a manifest and form files using the ACA transmission file upload UI but keep getting this message:

[TPE1101] Our system detected invalid or outdated XML namespaces in the Manifest file. Please review the XML standards outlined in Section 3 of Publication 5258, AIR Submission Composition and Reference Guide, located here, correct any issues on the Manifest file, and try again

The files I’m uploading are attached and are based on the sample files in publication 5258. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Here's the manifest file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  • Not sure if you found this or if it's filtered for the post but you may have a typo in the air namespace `air:tyYY1`. I believe it should be `air:ty20` for this last reporting year – Das Jun 02 '21 at 20:43
  • Thanks. I did notice that, updated the XML and finally got past the error. The XML I was copying was straight out of the IRS publication 5258. I didn't notice the tyYY1 in there that needed to be changed. – Andre Jun 03 '21 at 21:04
