R0000-900-01 e-file error

Database Validation Error: /Return/ReturnHeader/ReturnTypeCd: The return type indicated in the return header must match the return type established with the IRS for the EIN. (value xxxx, rule R0000-900-01)
You get this rejection when the type of return doesn't match what the IRS has on file for the EIN.

Solution

  1. While you're in the client file, go to File and select Client Properties.
  2. Check the
    EIN
    field to make sure it's correct.
  3. If there is a typo or incorrect information, correct it. Then re-create and retransmit the e-file.
    note
    If this is a Consolidated Client, select all clients within the Consolidation at the same time when creating the e-file.
  4. If the EIN and return type are correct, either file the return on paper or call the IRS e-help Desk at 866-255-0654.
