cred65 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I have e-filed this return for the last 2 or 3 years and now I get this error that "The return type indicated in the return header must match the return type established with the IRS for the EIN." In 2006 there was a change in partners, but there were still two in 2007. What is the recommended procedure to resolve this with the Feds?

Lion EA Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Did more than 50% of the partners change? Did the partnership get a new EIN? Start with your client to see what might be different for 2007 from 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start with your client to see what might be different for 2007 from 2006. There was a an investment by an outside investor in 2006 that resulted in 3 equal partners. Also during 2006 there was a buyout of a partner in a completely separate transaction that resulted in 2 equal partners at the end of 2006 and all of 2007. No change in the EIN.

Lion EA Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 It has to be an exact match of the name and EIN, or at least for the first four letters. So, if "The" or some other starting point is omitted or added or "Three" is written as "3" or... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
