990 E-file errors

R0000-922-01 e-file error

Filer's EIN and Name Control in the Return Header must match data in the e-File database, unless "Name Change" or "Name or Address Change" checkbox is checked, if applicable. (value xxxxxxxxx, rule R0000-922-01)
The rejection indicates that the EIN and Name Control combination don’t match IRS records.
