IRS Form 2290 Reasons for Rejection Due To Name Control

Form 2290 and Schedule 1 Once you have submitted your 2290 E-file, the IRS will send you a Stamped Schedule 1 as a proof of payment.

When you e-file, instead of a physical stamp, the IRS will apply a digital watermark "stamp" to your Schedule 1.

This digital stamp serves as your HVUT proof of payment.

What is a name control?

For the IRS to process your return, they use a name control ( a sequence of characters derived from a taxpayer's name). The name control and EIN must match for the return to be accepted.

When you apply for your Employer Identification Number (EIN), the IRS establishes your name control from the legal name listed on the Form SS-4Application for Employer Identification Number.

Why name control is important?

When e-filing your 2290 Heavy Vehicle Use Tax with ExpressTruckTax, the EIN and name control needs to match what is listed in the IRS e-file database.

If what you entered on the return does not match what the IRS information for your business, then the return will be rejected.

Can you verify name control prior to e-filing?

You sure can. Here is where the IRS is so sweet and considerate because they provide a handy-dandy Business & Specialty Help Line at 1-800-829-4933 to check your information prior to e-filing.

The hours of operation for the help line are 7am - 7pm local time, Monday through Friday.

Name Control Mismatch First, make sure to stay calm, this a fixable problem.

Your next step is to check the EIN on the rejected return and make sure it is correct.Â
