Hi @GERRY7  Do you see this message with the error code:

  • F990T-902-01: 'EIN' of the Filer in the Return Header must be established as an exempt organization filer in the e-file database.

What does this mean?

  • The entity type referred to in the rejection was established when the business filed for their Employer Identification Number (EIN) also know as a Federal Tax Identification Number. This goes on file with the IRS.
  • The rejection occurs when the IRS cross checks their Records Database and discovers the entity type transmitted does not match the entity type on file in their database.

Example: If the business registered as an 1120, but the extension was e-filed for an 1120-S, this rejection would occur.

How to correct the rejection:

  1. Re-transmitting the return without correcting or contacting the IRS will not resolve this issue.
  2. Review the SS-4 to determine the correct entity type; if incorrect; enter the tax return in the correct tax return type prior to transmitting the return/extension.
  3. Contact the IRS e-help desk to determine what the IRS database shows for the entity; refer to the IRS website for the current e-help desk phone number.
  4. If the rejection continues with the corrected type of tax return the extension may need to be paper filed.

If its  a new entity and the EIN was issued recently (in 2026) the IRS system database may not have it updated yet.

You double and triple checked the name and EIN by comparing to the SS4 or a prior year return that was e-filed successfully?
