F7004-904-01 E-file rejection


GLGACCT

Recommended Posts

Lawyer elected a calendar year on the SS-4 for a Decedent's Estate 1041 rather than a fiscal year.  Knowledgebase has the following info:

e-file Rejection: F7004-904-01 - "Form 7004, the tax year ending date ("TaxPeriodEndDate" specified in..." in an 1120, 1120S or 1041 return.

Full Rejection Text

"Form 7004, the tax year ending date ("TaxPeriodEndDate" specified in the "ReturnHeader") must match the data in the e-file database unless one of the checkboxes in Line 5b - "Initial Return", "Final Return" or "Consolidated return to be filed" is checked."


Resolution

This can occur when your client is filing as a calendar-year filer, but the IRS has their Employer Identification Number (EIN) on-file as a fiscal year filer, or vice versa.

Check your input to confirm that the fiscal year end date is correct. If it is, contact the IRS at 1-866-860-4259. Confirm the fiscal year date they have on record matches what you have on file.

The fiscal year is correct for the decedent, the SS-4 incorrectly shows a calendar year.  Should line 5b Initial return be checked as that is for a short year in order to e-file the extension and if so will any other complications arise when the return is finally submitted or is there another way to correct this issue?
