I get an error that says "Reject: Error R0000-500-01: "PrimarySSN and PrimaryNameControlTxt" in the return header must match the e-file database.
I know the reason which is that the 2023 tax return filed by someone else for the taxpayer had the wrong last name, when I correct it this year in 2024, the e-file is rejected. The question I have is:
Can we do something in Lacerte without having to deal with the IRS and fix the error and resubmit?
Thanks
I believe this is an issue to resolve with IRS. Make sure the name does match the Social Security Card. The contact I would start with is the IRS Practitioner Hotline. https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/practitioner-priority-service-r#:~:text=The%20Practitioner%20P....
Have a copy of the Social Security Card in hand when you call.
