    3. TPE1204 Error

    Soluton: You can open your XML file by NotePad and search for "--" or "&&" or other special characters.

    For example: IRS system can accept single "-". However, we noticed the system cannot accept "--". If you have "--" in your XML file, you may see such error. It might be a bug in IRS system. You can fix this issue by opening ez1095, remove "--" from forms and generate the new XML documents.
