Form 990-N (e-Postcard): Employer Identification Number Error Message |
|
What should my organization do if when it attempted to file the e-Postcard using its correct EIN it received an error message indicating that the EIN was incorrect?
If you are certain that your EIN was entered correctly, the IRS may not have your organization listed as a tax-exempt organization. To be exempt under Section 501(c)(3) as a charity, most organizations must go through the application process. If your application for tax-exemption is pending, you must contact Customer Account Services at 1-877-829-5500.
If your organization claims to be exempt under some other Code section, such as 501(c)(4), an officer of the organization should call Customer Account Services at 1-877-829-5500 (a toll free number) and ask that the organization be set up to allow filing of the e-Postcard.
