The HMRC systems will reject submissions that do not pass validation tests - for example not having mandatory fields populated, or values that appear to contradict each other. Therefore ABC SA800 Partnership Tax Return will insist that all errors have been fixed before submission.

That message means that the HMRC User ID and HMRC Password you entered when submitting were rejected by HMRC.

Authentication Error means that the UTR (Unique Tax Reference), Gateway ID or password are incorrect, or that they are not the right ones for your HMRC account. It could also mean that the Self Assessment service is not activated for your account on HMRC's website.

You can attach .pdf files to your tax return, up to a limit enforced by HMRC. To reduce the size of attachments export from word processor, or if scanning, select document or fax mode.

The maximum attachment size is enforced by the HMRC end, so we cannot get around it. If you are scanning your document, you could experiment with the scanner settings to use a lower resolution, to see if the document is then small enough whilst still being legible. Similarly, if you search the internet for 'PDF resizer' you should find some free online tools which will compress the PDF to a smaller size (albeit at a cost of image quality) so you could experiment with one of those, or use free or paid-for software to do a compression.

Yes, each partnership return will need an activation key.

Your data is stored entirely on your local computer until the point you submit to HMRC, at which point your data is sent over secure HTTPS directly to HMRC. For this reason, it is important you store a back up your data, either by opting to save the data to a folder that is backed up (e.g. to Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive or similar) or you export the complete return (and SA302 calculation) to PDF and keep those for your records.
