Receiving the reject code F1099R-505-02 from the IRS means that you are required to correct your tax documents. This denial code points out that the EIN or the employee identification number does not correspond according to the form 1099 and also the records held by the IRS, and needs to be corrected.
When you receive the F1099R-505-02 code, you must note that you cannot file your tax online as the IRS wouldn’t allow it. This is because they need the taxpayer to file a paper form return including form 8948. The EIN issued in the current year of the tax cannot be used electronically as governed by IRS fraud prevention. The first year is used to validate the EIN by the IRS.
In case your EIN is not correct with the IRS then you may receive a reject code F1099R-502-02.
