Incorrect math calculations, or incomplete or missing documents

Return account periods overlap

Omitting or using incorrect entity identification numbers

Incomplete entity name

One lump sum payment sent for multiple entities, or multiple payments sent in the same package/envelope

Incorrect payment amount claimed

Multiple tax returns filed for the same account period

Amended returns not clearly identified as amended

Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) filing incorrect forms

Using an incorrect form for the tax year account period indicated on the return
