The following diagnostic is generating:

The financial institution Federal Identification Number (FEIN) is not valid. A valid FEIN must be nine characters long and begin with two numbers within the ranges of 01 to 06, 10 to 16, 20 to 27, 30 to 48, 50 to 77, 80 to 88 or 90 to 99. An FEIN must not equal all 0's or all 9's.

Solution:

IF using ssn try adding CA to the return and enter a ssn in the field below the EIN on screen 1. Calculate the return, then remove CA from screen 1.
