IRS [Error Code: R0000-902-01]:

Taxpayer TIN in the Return Header must not be the same as a TIN of a previously accepted electronic return for the return type and tax period indicated in the tax return.

Rejection Message

The IRS already has a return approved for the EIN for the current tax year.

What does it mean?

The IRS has rejected your return because it is a duplicate of a previously submitted electronic return. You can not file more than one return for a year with the same EIN.

Resolution

To resolve this error, check the previously submitted EIN. If it is found to be incorrect, correct, and retransmit it.

Here's how you correct the EIN in your return:

  • Log in to your account.
  • On the dashboard, under Exempt Org Extensions - Form 8868, identify the rejected return.
  • Click the Rejected by the IRS button found against the rejected return, you can find the list of errors associated with the return.
  • Click the Fix Me button against the error code R0000-902-01.
  • You'll land on the Exempt Organization Details page. Here, you can correct the EIN.
  • Review the details, and click the Transmit button to re-transmit your return to the IRS at no additional cost.

If the EIN is correct and you haven’t filed any return for the current year, contact the IRS or your Tax Professional regarding the same.
