The first and foremost reason is:
- Business Name Or EIN Not Matching IRS Records:
When you are filing form 2290, ensure you are providing the right business name and the EIN as mentioned in IRS records. For few owner operators, the business name would be registered name for their EIN. However do note, IRS do not access (Social Security Number) as EIN while e filing form 2290. If you have forgotten your business name or EIN that is registered with IRS, you can get the same from IRS by calling 1-800-829-4933.
Also, if you don't own an EIN, you can always apply EIN online within minutes. Visit here to know more.
- EIN Update Is Yet To Take Place In IRS Database:
This is a common scenario for taxpayers who have newly applied for EIN. It takes around 15 days for IRS to update their database with the new EIN and if the EIN is not 15 days old, you would receive an error message stating that your EIN does not match.
Do not panic, you can always wait and file after 15 days and IRS would eventually accept your form 2290.
- Duplicate Form 2290 Is Filed:
Always remember, IRS accepts only one filing per VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) per tax year. That means you cannot file two times for one vehicle. However, you are efiling form 2290 online, you can always check with your previously filed and transmitted return. Do reach IRS Excise Tax hotline- 1-866-699-4096 if you get this error message.
- Incorrect Routing Transit Number:
This situation takes place when you would have accidentally provided IRS with the wrong Bank Routing Number. You can check the bottom of your check and get your routing number correct or you can always get in touch with the bank. We are sure, they would be happy to assist.
