Some fields can only take a certain amount of characters.  See if you can shorten the name so you can still identify it.  

Don't have any special characters in the name.

The Payor ID number is what is important to the IRS.

Figured it out!! I was only allowed 35 characters. I figured out how to shorten it. For anyone with a long named credit union, use FCU instead of "federal credit union"
