Other than the normal name/SSN mismatch rejects, we are seeing the following rejects trending from our paid preparer-based control launch.
R0000-905-01 Electronic Filing Identification Number (EFIN) in the Return Header must be listed in the e-File database and in accepted status
How do I fix this? You will need to reach out to e-services and/or your SPEC RM
The IRS can inactivate your Authorized IRS e-file Provider status if we receive undeliverable mail or are unable to contact you. Publication 3112, IRS e-file Application and Participation states that you must revise your e-file application within 30 days of any change.
Update your application with new information such as:
- Principals
- Responsible Officials
- Personal Credential
- Address
- Phone numbers
- URL information
Updates may require that you submit the application indicated by the “Application Status” of “Resubmission Required” on the summary screen.
IND-181-01 The Primary Taxpayer did not enter a valid Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN). Please visit www.irs.gov/getanippin for further information and resubmit your return with the correct number.
How do I fix this? The IRS opened up the IP PIN to all taxpayers. If the taxpayer applied and received one, they will need to give you the information to enter into the return. We are seeing a significant amount of rejects where the IP PIN has not been entered. This is most likely because the taxpayer doesn’t realize it needs to be entered in the tax return.
