The error 1046 is caused by HMRC sending a message to say it could not authenticate your submission of the tax return. HMRC look at various authentication details during a tax return submission.
There had been certain circumstances in earlier versions of the Tax Professional software where the agent details were not being sent correctly to HMRC and caused the error 1046 to be returned.
To resolve this issue you may need to contact HMRC’s online services helpdesk for assistance – see https://www.hmrc.gov.uk/efiling/efiling_helpdesk.htm

Nonetheless we can provide the following generic pointers which may be helpful.

Usually error 1046 is caused by one of the following:

1. The UTR entered is incorrect for the client (SA100/SA800/SA900 and CT600)
2. The login credentials you use to submit the return are wrong. Note: You need to enter capital and lowercase letters exactly as they were sent to you by Government Gateway.
3. you haven’t registered for this particular service (you have to register to file SA800s as well as SA100s if you are receiving the error filing an SA800 check you are registered for this service).
4. If the error is occurring when filing an FPS or EPS in Payroll check you have the correct accounts office tax district number and PAYE scheme reference for the client.

You can submit a long accounting period return that will be split into 2 chargeable periods.

The following is guidance how to set up the attachments for a long period return:

In Chargeable Period 1:
Go to Page 1 of the return
Go to the Accounts/Computations tab
Tick the ‘I attach accounts for the period to which this return relates’ option
Tick the ‘I attach computations for the period to which this return relates’ option

Then go to Chargeable Period 2:
Go to Page 1 of the return
Go to the Accounts/Computations tab
Tick the ‘I attach computations for the period to which this return relates’ option
Do not tick any of the boxes for Accounts but select the reason ‘Submitted with accompanying return’

Then go to the Submit menu:
Go to Attachments
Check what is listed as attached
If there are any computations listed select them then remove
Then select the Computations (iXBRL) option
Press the Add Computation button
Follow the prompt then select the computations you need to add
Press the Ok button
Then press the Attach button twice (adding two sets of computations)
You should then have listed two sets of computations and one set of accounts

This will then allow you tol go through the submission process submitting both returns and they should submit successfully.

An error 502 relates to the credentials used for submitting to Companies House which is the user ID and/or authentication code (password) or the company authentication code (CAC) that you have entered for the submission.

We would advise you check that these have been entered correctly. If you believe they have been entered correctly you would need to contact Companies House to verify the details.

Please be aware that an error 502 can also relate to you using your web filing credentials to file to Companies House through the Keytime software. You will therefore be required to apply for a separate software filing account.

You can find details on how to do this by going to https://support.keytime.co.uk/entries/21134606-filing-accounts-at-companies-house
