IRS Error Code: R0000-922-01 and TEGE-922

Rejection Message:
The business name, EIN, and the name control on the return filed didn't match the IRS's name control.

What does it mean:
The name control of your business and the EIN doesn't match with the ones on the IRS records. Name Control is a four-character identifier derived from the organization's name. For instance, for an organization named "Ashton Foundation," the name control would be "ASHT." This is assigned by the IRS when the organization requests an Employer Identification Number (EIN).

In this case, these are two likely mistakes that would have led to the rejection of your return.

a. Incorrect EIN. Or, 

b. Mistyped the organization name. 

Anyone or both mistakes will cause a mismatch in the name control. 

Resolution:
Check if the EIN and the Organization Name entered are correct. If there are errors, correct those, and re-transmit the return at no additional cost. 

Here's how you correct the mismatch in Name Control

• From the home page, select the organization and the tax year.
• You need to click on the 'Rejected by the IRS' button to find the list of errors for the rejected return. Then, click the 'Fix Me' button to resolve the rejection error. 
• Based on the filing type you have chosen, you will be able to navigate to the corresponding page.
  • Interview-based filing -You'll be directed to the Update Organization page, where you can correct the EIN and/or organization name.
  • Form-based filing - You'll be directed to the Organization Information page, where you can correct the EIN and/or organization name.
• Review the details, and click the Transmit button to re-transmit your return to the IRS at no additional cost.

Note: We'll update you on the status of the return once we hear back from the IRS.
