If you're seeing the error "NoUBADisbursementCdSubmit' element is invalid", it means there is an issue with the Disbursement Code in your tax return. This happens when no valid option is selected for how the refund or balance due should be handled.

Why This Error Occurs

  • 0 – Balance Due/Zero Refund

  • 3 – Paper Check

  • 5 – Cryptocurrency

  • 6 – Other

How to Fix It

  1. Review State Forms – Check the tax return to see if a deposit or payment option was selected.

  2. Ensure No Disbursement Code Is Selected if No Refund or Balance Due – If there is no refund or balance due, set the Disbursement Code to 0.

  3. Choose a Valid Option – If the taxpayer is expecting a refund or making a payment, select the correct Disbursement Code from the valid options above.

  4. Resubmit the Return – Once the correct Disbursement Code is selected, submit the return again.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and complete the tax filing process smoothly.
