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:
  1. Verify that the EIN did not change from the prior year’s return if you used carry forward
  2. Verify the EIN was keyed into the application accurately
  3. Verify that the company name was keyed in exactly as it is on the W-2 or 1099-R
  4. 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.
