TAXMAN Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 I am using ATX software. Have TP with multiple 1099-r's with fed wh on each. Entered correctly on 1099-r page. Efile error says it needs an EIN # associated with the w/h. All the w/h did not come from 1 1099-r. What # or what do I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Try entering all zeroes on the Fed W/H worksheet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 What's wrong with entering the number twice if available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing, if it gets rid of the error, but in some cases people are still having problems with this and ATX's own solution in the error says that entering all zeroes is OK, and we now have 5 separate topics on this very worksheet. This shouldn't even be a required entry since the worksheets aren't transmitted with the e-file anyway. If it were me, I'd enter all zeroes every time and move on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMcpa Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 There is also the issue that many clients have multiple 1099-R forms. Therefore, entering one number for the total withholding does not make sense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
