Similar problem, but another theory ..... My 2023 tax return was rejected by the IRS with error code SH-F1040-520-01, “Schedule H (Form 1040), 'EmployerEIN' and 'EmployerNameControlTxt' must match data in the e-File database.”
I am filing a joint return with my wife. Our two names and the EIN are all in perfect agreement among form 1040, the EIN paperwork, and the W-2/W-3 forms reporting the wages we paid to the employee.
HOWEVER, as noted earlier in this thread, Turbotax fills the heading of Schedule H with my name only, not both names. Therefore, the name shown on Schedule H disagrees with the information on the EIN documentation (and also the rest of the 1040 return).
This seems like a problem with Turbotax. I suspect it is why the IRS is detecting a mismatch. Is there any way to get Turbotax to put our names jointly on Schedule H, since it is a joint return?
