IRS reject code R0000-906-02 indicates that the Routing Transit Number (RTN) provided in the tax return is not recognized in the IRS e-File database.
This typically occurs when the RTN is entered incorrectly or if the bank's RTN has recently changed.
To resolve this issue in TaxWise, follow these steps:
Verify the RTN:
Ensure that the RTN entered is exactly 9 digits long.
The first two digits should be between 01–12 or 21–32.
Correct the RTN in TaxWise:
Navigate to the bank information section of the return.
Double-check the RTN for any typographical errors.
If incorrect, update it with the correct number.
Recreate and retransmit the e-file:
After correcting the RTN, regenerate the e-file and resubmit it.
If the RTN is correct but the error persists:
Contact the bank to confirm that the RTN is valid and recognized by the IRS.
If the bank confirms the RTN is correct, reach out to the IRS e-Help Desk at 1-866-255-0654 for further assistance.
By carefully verifying and correcting the RTN, you should be able to resolve the R0000-906-02 rejection and successfully file the tax return.
