Find answers to your questions.I am a tax professional. The IRS has rejected my client’s individual income tax extension with the error code: R0000-902-01. How do I resolve it?
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: Duplicate filing. The IRS already has an extension application approved for the Primary SSN for the current tax year.
What does it mean: The IRS rejected your client’s Form 4868 because they have already received a request for an extension to the same SSN and tax period. Make sure your client’s spouse did not file a joint extension with the same Primary SSN. If so, you don’t need to file again.
Resolution: Please confirm if a request for an extension has been filed for this primary SSN. If not, we recommend contacting the IRS EIN Hotline at 1-800-829-1040 for further assistance.
