Reject Code EIC-F1040-501-01 - Dependent Name must match

---

Error Reject Code EIC-F1040-501-01
Also for: SEIC-F1040-501-02, R0000-504-01

- Each 'QualifyingChildNameControl' that has a value on Schedule EIC(Form 1040A or 1040), Line 1, and 'QualifyingChildSSN' that has a value on Line 2, must match that in the e-File database.

- Each 'DependentSSN' and the corresponding 'DependentNameControl' that has a value on Line 6c(2) of the return, must match the SSN and Name Control in the e-File database. 

How to Fix: The child's name doesn't match what the IRS shows it should be. This could be caused by several reasons.

• You accidentally entered the wrong Name / SS# for the dependant.  Double-check the information you entered based on their Social Security Card
• The Social Security department accidentally sent over the wrong information to the IRS.  You may need to contact the Social Security Administration for exact spelling of the child's name

Unfortunately, the only other thing you can do is to contact the IRS. The best number to try is the IRS E-File Help Desk number which is 1-866-255-0654.
