Fiduciary Return -- Error R0000-901-01

dlking1
Level 1

Hello All:

I received the following error which I cannot figure out on two returns.  These are not new trusts, we have filed both for the past 10+ years using the same EIN/Name Control, which I verified.  Federal rejected but state was accepted.  Called IRS numerous times this week but cannot get through.

Any advice on how to correct?  Is there any sort of "metadata" that may be causing this issue?  Is there a way to follow or fix that file path listed?

All advice appreciated.

Filing Rejected - This filing was rejected by the taxing agency on April 15, 2022. You need to fix errors that caused the rejection before it can be accepted by the agency. Follow these instructions for fixing the errors and you can transmit again at no additional charge.
Reject: Error R0000-901-01: Filer's EIN and Name Control in the Return Header must match data in the e-File database.

Form: 0(00)
Field: *****2790(/efile:Return/efile:ReturnHeader/efile:Filer/efile:EIN)
Occurrence: 00000

Resolution: Reject R0000-901 is common the first time a filing/extension is electronically filed for an entity. The name control in the e-File filing (typically the first four characters of the legal name of the business entity) must match the name control in the IRS records for the entity.

IRS apparently made a Name Control change in their system for fiduciary returns this year.

Lots of people are getting this reject for returns that were efiled successfully for many years.

If the trust name is John Turner Irrevocable Trust and you were using TURN as the Name Control, try using JOHN.

If you are successful searching this forum there are other threads on this and one or two have links to how IRS doe the Name Control.

The more I know, the more I don't know.
