Solution

note

The value in the error message represents the EIN causing the rejection.

Find the payer name and EIN from the client's W2-G source document.

Go to the Income
input folder.

Select the W2G
tab.

For every unit of the

W2G

screen, makes sure that the EIN
and Payer's name
match the client's W2-G.

If they don't match, correct them, then re-create and retransmit the e-file.

If they do match, contact the payer that issued the W-2G.

Select the 1099R
folder.
