F7004-904-01 e-file error

Error

Form 7004, the tax year ending date (TaxPeriodEndDt specified in the Return Header) must match the data in the e-file database unless one of the checkboxes in Line 5b - "Initial Return", "Final Return" or "Consolidated return to be filed" is checked. (value YYYY-MM-DD, rule F7004-904-01)

Cause

This error happens because the tax period end date, return type, or EIN in the IRS database doesn't match the information in the e-file.

Solutions

  1. If the entity doesn't have a short tax year, check Form 7004, line 5b. Those checkboxes are for short year returns only.
  2. Check the tax period ending date, return type, and EIN. If they're correct, contact the IRS e-Help Desk at 866-255-0654.
