bstaxes Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Trying to e-file a 1041 and getting this error "The employer Id Number and the the Name Control on the return do not match information on the National Account Profile database" e-filed the extension without any problem. Name on the 1041 "John B. Doe Testamentary Trust" Used "Doe" as the name control did not work, went back and deleted it and still does not work. Actually client's last name is only 4 characters and that is what I used. Would "Test" work because it is the last before the word trust? I am almost ready to paper file but would like to find out how to solve problem. I am using ATX. Thanks for any advice. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Check your W-2's and 1099s and make sure that employer's SS# or EIF are correct. Somewhere, a SS# or EIN is not correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstaxes Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Client did not have w-2 or 1099's. The trust is being funded by stock and has no income or interest at this point. This return is basically info only. There is no tax liability for 2006. That will change for 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 could be as simple as you including that period after the middle initial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstaxes Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Thanks for your help. Tried many combination but none worked. Finally called the Irs e-file help line. It seems the year you establish a trust you can not e-file. It has to be paper filed. The following years can be e-filed. The EIN was filed for in 2006, therefore it is not on their database. Hopefully 2007 will not have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
