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 error indicates that the IRS e-file database shows a different name control for the EIN included in the electronic file. You may have sent the wrong EIN in the e-file, or the name control needs to be forced.

Solution

Check that the EIN and Family name for electronic filing name control on the screen 1041 in the General folder are correct. If they are incorrect, fix them and re-create and retransmit the return.

If the EIN and family name are correct, the name control is the issue. Check the Name Control fields on the ELF screen in the Electronic Filing folder. You can use the Force field to enter a different name control if necessary.

You may need to contact the IRS Business and Specialty Tax line at 800.829.4933 to find out what name control they have on file. If the name control cannot be reconciled, the return will have to be filed on paper.
