So I am having a unbelievable time trying to get an extension to perfect because of the frigging  Special Name Control. "code"  In all my years of ProSeries e-filing, I have never had to touch that cell, It's usually the first 4 letters. As we all know.   So about 6 last night, went out to file an extension on a new 1041 estate tax return.  The program default picks the first 4 letters of '"Edwin's" name, and off we go.  Now 24 hrs later, and about 12 variations of the Estate name, i still get the Special Name Control doesn't match.  And it even tells me, that first time filers might have a hard time filing because of this.   Well, DUH!!   I guess I will try the phone number suggested for this top-secret code matching program early Monday and see what the problem is. I sent a registered letter today with a paper extension, and a copy of e-filing history of how many times I tried before midnight....and since for that matter.

What is the purpose of this Special Name Control code?  other than irritation......
