S corp Return rejection

[Naveen Mohan from New York]

I have a client. I have always filed his S-corporation return for the past 15 years with no problem  However when I filed his 2015 S corporation return last week, I got the reject message saying as follow:

" The return type indicated in the return header must match the return type established with the IRS for this EIN."

I do not understand it. If IRS has accepted S corporation return from this client for the past 15 years, why all of a sudden they are rejecting this classification and how do I resolve this problem.

Thanks for your help.

Check to make sure the EIN entered is correct.  Did you roll this return forward or have to reenter that number for any reason?

I would also look to make sure the S election date is entered in box A of the 1120S.
