Hi Everyone,

Has anyone encountered this IRS e-file rejection when submitting a 2025 business return?

Error Message:
The return type indicated in the return header must match the return type established with the IRS for the EIN.

Context:
The S-Corp Return was successfully efiled in last year (2024 Return) via ProConnect. However, when attempting to e-file the 2025 return, it is now being rejected with the error above. We have already verified the EIN and the Entity Name against the 2024 filed return.

Is there any solution we can do to still efile the return without calling the IRS Helpdesk?

If not, we will proceed to calling the IRS or paperfiling the return.

Thank you in advance!
