I am trying to efile my RI return with Turbotax.
I got this notice:
"What needs to be done:
Your return could not be processed for e-filing due to incorrect or missing information on Schedule W. Please review your return, make sure all required information on Schedule W is entered and correct: (1) Employer or Payer's Name, (2) The correct 9 digit Employer State ID, (3) Rhode Island Income Withheld. If necessary, make the appropriate change and re-submit this return electronically. However, if the reject continues, you may want to file this return via U.S. Mail. To file your state return, print it and mail to the appropriate taxing authority."
I double checked my W-2 and in doing so noticed that the Federal EIN is a very close match to the State Employer Id.
For instances: Fed-123456789 State: 12345678900
Is this normal in RI? My google search says it should be the same but now I am not so sure. I plan to ask payroll on Tuesday, too.
