R0000-901-01 e-file error

You get this error when the IRS e-File database has a different EIN
and Name Control
combination on file.

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

Double check the name control:

Go to Organizer
, E-file
, then Return
.

Select Additional Information
then Business Name Control
.

If Business name control (Override)
is completed, review Publication 4163 to make sure it's correct.

Double check the EIN
:

Select General Information
then Basic Return Information
.

Make sure the EIN
is correct.

If you corrected either field, do a full recompute, then recreate the e-file.

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.
