Understanding Common E-Filing Error Codes

E-filing systems can sometimes present users with error codes that indicate specific issues with transactions. This article provides an overview of two common error codes: "exceeds 44 fee code" and "F186," as well as the "D424" error related to title number formatting.

Error Code: Exceeds 44 Fee Code

The "exceeds 44 fee code" message typically indicates that a transaction has too many associated fees, exceeding the system's limit for processing through e-filing. When this occurs, it becomes impossible to generate the necessary documentation electronically.

Recommended Action: If you encounter this issue, it is advisable to visit your local office for manual processing or assistance in resolving the matter.

Error Code F186

The error code "F186" specifically signifies that the number of fee code lines exceeds the maximum allowable limit of 44. As a result, all fees cannot be processed via e-file submission.

• Total Fees Due: $2,091.00 (USD)
• This indicates there are too many fee codes linked to this particular transaction which prevents proper collection of all due fees.

Error Code D424: Title Number Formatting Issue

Error D424 arises when there is a problem with how the title number is formatted within the VIN e-filing system. A common cause for this error is including special characters such as dashes (-) in out-of-state title numbers.

• Example: Minnesota titles like “044 NN44” may trigger this error if entered incorrectly due to formatting issues involving dashes.
• The system recognizes that a dash may be part of some title numbers but does not accept any special characters in that field during entry.

Resolution Steps for Error D424:

1. Review your entry and ensure no special characters are included in the title number field.
2. If applicable, re-enter without using dashes or other non-alphanumeric symbols and attempt resubmission through e-filing again.
