🔍 e-file Rejection: R0000-500-01

Rejection Text:

'PrimarySSN' and 'PrimaryNameControlTxt' in the Return Header must match..."

Applies to: a 1040 return.

⚠️ Before You Begin

To resolve this rejection, you will need to verify the primary taxpayer’s:

  • Last name (spelling and format)
  • SSN (the correct SSN for the primary taxpayer)

🛠️ Resolution

The last name for the primary taxpayer on the return does not match what the IRS and/or the Social Security Administration (SSA) have on file.

This could be caused by:

  • A misspelling of the primary taxpayer’s last name
  • Using the wrong SSN for the primary taxpayer
  • Multiple or hyphenated last names
