61301: Incorrect Employer Identification Number (EIN) or Tax id

The number you entered didn't match the federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) for your business.

• A data entry typo or transposed digits when typing the 9-digit federal Employer Identification Number (EIN).
• Submitting a personal Social Security Number (SSN) instead of the business's federal EIN.
• Entering a state-issued tax ID number or business license number instead of the federal tax ID.

• Check the 9-digit number directly against an official federal document. Verify that the numbers have not been transposed during data entry. A personal Social Security Number (SSN) or a state-level corporate tax ID cannot be used as a federal Employer Identification Number (EIN).
