Error

Filer's EIN and Name Control in the Return Header must match data in the e-File database. (value #########, rule R0000-901-01)

Cause

The IRS e-File database has a different EIN and Name Control combination on file.

Solution

      Organizer
      , then
      Federal E-file
      .
    2. Select
      Additional Information
      , then
      Business Name Control
      .
    3. If the
      Business name control (Override)
      field is completed, review Publication 4163 and make sure it's correct.
  2. Check the EIN:
    1. Select
      General Information
      , then
      Basic Return Information
      .
    2. Make sure that the EIN field is correct.
