Form 990 - tax period.

[TrumpJ]

Error Detail:

I have filed this Form 990 for numerous years. The NFP has a year end of September.  I received an error when I transmitted the tax return last week - and I'm receiving an error that the tax period does not match the IRS records.  error:  "The IRS's records have a different tax period end for this return.  . . . .If this is full year return, adjust the tax year end in the Federal Information Worksheet.  Please let me know if you have seen the errors noted below - and any advice before I request a Form 2848 - and contact the IRS.  Thank you.

According to the ProSeries Rejections:

Error Detail:

If "Final return/terminated" checkbox is not checked or "Initial return" checkbox is not checked, then in the Return Header, the tax period ending date must match data in the e- file database.

Error Resolution:

The IRS's records have a different tax period end for this return. If this is other than a full year return, indicate 'Short Year', 'Initial Return', or 'Final Return' as appropriate. If this is a full year return, adjust the tax year end in the Federal Information Worksheet.

You'll need to contact IRS eservices. Somehow IRS changed the year end in their database.

I've had it happen a couple of times with 990s.
