Error Code [F990PF-907] - How do I resolve it?

IRS  Error code: F990PF-906-01

Rejection Message: 

If you checked "Initial return of a former public charity" on Form 990-PF, the EIN must be recognized by the IRS as a public charity filer. Verify that the EIN is registered as a public charity filer in the e-file database.

What Does it Mean: 

It means the EIN must be recognized by the IRS as belonging to a former public charity. If not, the e-file system may reject the return.

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

• Check whether the organization has previously been revoked, If yes you must re-instate your tax-exempt status.
• If the IRS has rejected the return despite your organization having the exempt status, then we suggest you contact the e-help Desk Toll-Free Number 1-866-255-0654.
