e-file Rejection: R0000-922-01 - "Filer's EIN and Name Control in the Return Header must match data in the e-File database"

---

📊 Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Verify the EIN and name in the return

Use this when you need to confirm the rejection is caused by incorrect header information.

Verify the EIN and name were entered correctly in the return.

Step 2: If the EIN and name are correct, check for name/address changes

Use this when the taxpayer has changed information but the header values are already correct.

If they were entered correctly and there was a name change or address change, select the Name Change or Name or Address Change check box on the return.

Step 3: If the name change check boxes do not apply, contact the IRS

Use this when the taxpayer does not have a name change/address change, but the rejection still occurs.

If the name change check boxes do not apply to the taxpayer, then you or the taxpayer can contact the IRS to verify the name of the business.

Step 4: Understand that the Name Control is often the cause

Use this when you suspect the rejection is due to Name Control mismatch.

The Name Control is often the cause of this rejection. Partnership name controls are automatically determined based on the first four characters of the Partnership name but in some cases can deviate from this.

The client will need to contact the IRS to determine what the Name Control is currently.
