Navigate to Reports and run the “Validation Erros” Report to see if you are receiving the following error:

Note:  It will be the State abbreviations of your specific site.

Updated info: Next, navigate to the Configuration>>ERO Setup and verify that the zip code field for both have the zip code and not your state abbreviations. We automatically uploaded this information to correct the zip code in ERO setup at approximately 1:00 pm EST.

The zip code we entered was based on the order we received from the IRS.  Make the appropriate correction to the zip code field.
