    Is there somewhere to enter the name code and foundation code for a 990

    bbowie505

    I e-filed a 990 return and it got rejected.  This is our first year filing it for the client.  Their previous accountant e-filed it with no problem. Is there somewhere in the program to enter a name control and a foundation code for the client?

    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    The name control on a 990 is on the efile worksheet page.  Normally the fist 4 letters of the organization name.

    So make sure you have the organization name correct.

    What reason(s) were given for the reject?

    Filer's EIN and Name Control in the Return Header must match the name control and entity type in the IRS records.

    Does the client have the EIN Letter from IRS?

    Thanks much.  Apparently the accountant changed the default name control for the client causing it to get rejected.
