R0000-901-01 e-file error

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

  1. Check the name control:
    1. Go to
      Organizer
      ,
      E-file
      , then
      Return
      .
    2. Select
      Additional Information
      then
      Business Name Control
      .
    3. If
      Business name control (Override)
      is completed, review Publication 4163 to make sure it's correct.
  2. Check the
    EIN
    :
    1. Select
      General Information
      then
      Basic Return Information
      .
    2. Make sure the
      EIN
      is correct.
  3. If you corrected either field, recreate the e-file, and resubmit the return.
  4. If you're not overriding the name control and the EIN is correct, call the IRS e-help Desk at 866-255-0654 and verify the EIN.
