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 when the tax-period end date, the return type, or the EIN within the IRS database doesn't match the information in the electronic file. For example, the return may be a calendar year end 12/31/YY; however, the IRS's database shows the client's year end as a fiscal year end, 06/30/YY.

Solution

Make sure the tax-period ending date, return type, and EIN are correct. If they are, contact the IRS e-Help Desk at 866.255.0654.
