Organization exemption type mismatch [F990T-045] - How do I resolve it?

IRS Error Code: F990T-045

Rejection Message: 

The checkbox checked on Form 990-T, Line B (the section under which the organization receives its tax exemption) must match data in the e-file database.

What does it mean:

For tax exemption purposes, the IRS will classify an organization under a specific IRC section based on its type, purpose, and certain other aspects. The organization must specify the section under which they are classified on the 990-T return. It should match what the IRS has in its database.

Action Required:

• Check whether the organization filing for the first time, or is its tax-exempt application still pending.
• If the return is due before your organization submitted its application or while the organization's application for recognition of exempt status is pending (including any appeal of a proposed adverse determination), the organization must file the return (including all applicable schedules and attachments) at the following address:

Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service Center
Ogden, Utah 84201-0027

If the organization's principal business, office, or agency is in a foreign country or U.S. possession, mail to:

Internal Revenue Service Center
P.O. Box 409101
Ogden, Utah 84409
