COMMON EIN REJECTS (02/05/2024)
The following EIN rejects are common rejects this time of the season.
FW2-502: Form W-2, Line B ‘EmployerEIN’ must match data in the eFile database
F1099R-502-02: Form 1099-R, ‘PayerEIN’ must match data in the e-File database.
Tips for correction:
- Verify that the EIN did not change from the prior year’s return if you used carry forward
- Verify the EIN was keyed into the application accurately
- Verify that the company name was keyed in exactly as it is on the W-2 or 1099-R
- If the information entered matches the actual document, have the taxpayer contact the issuer of the W-2/1099R that is being rejected to verify that the Employer Identification number listed on the document is correct.
