Pat Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Help. When I try to file a 7004 I get the message "If either the Preparer's Firm Name or EIN is entered, both must be entered or both must be blank". I don't have a an EIN (just use a PTIN). I override and fill in the Paid Preparer info, using my social as the EIN. After doing this I can efile but this does not seem correct. Is it?

Pat Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I went to the ATX Knowledge Base and found the answer. Sorry for the bother. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaB Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I went to the ATX Knowledge Base and found the answer. Sorry for the bother. Pat Thanks, Pat, for asking this question. It probably would have taken me forever to think to check KB. I couldn't create 7004 e-file, either, and I came here looking for help. Long story short, I applied to e-file business returns using my SSN, I now have a FEIN, too. I just had to delete FEIN and enter SSN, and now I can create. Thank you, again!

Diane Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 I had the same problem. I don't have an FEIN. I just deleted my name that automatically appears in the 'Company' field since I don't have a 'Company' name. Then the 7004 efiled.
