ProSeries Frequently Asked Questions

Federal 1120, 1120S, and 1065 Returns With IRS Reject Code R0000-901

Products Affected:

• ProSeries/1120, 1120S, and 1065
• ProSeries Express/1120, 1120S, and 1065

IRS electronic filing reject code R0000-901 may be received the first time a return is electronically filed for the corporation or partnership. The name control (typically the first four characters of the legal name of the corporation or partnership) in an electronically filed return must match the name control in the IRS records for that corporation or partnership.

ProSeries software automatically formats the name control for the electronically filed return based on the Name entered on the Corporation Information Worksheet, S Corporation Information Worksheet, or Partnership Information Worksheet.

Note:

• If the legal name of the corporation or partnership includes a dash (-) or ampersand (&) within the first four characters, please include the dash or ampersand. No other special characters are allowed.
• The name control cannot have a space between characters, but it can end in a space if the legal name of the corporation or partnership is only three characters long.

To resolve this reject, the IRS recommends that you call the IRS e-Help desk at 1-866-255-0654 (press options 1, 2, and 1 for 1120/1120S, or 2 for 1065) to determine what corrections need to be made to the name on the electronically filed return. Make the necessary corrections, then retransmit the return.
