990 e-file probs

[JJStephens]

I specialize in religious non-profits--therefore do a fair number of 990s. Over the past couple days I've submitted several who (as usual) waited till the last moment to get me their stuff just before the extended deadline. So far three of them have been rejected. The rejection code says the EIN is not recognized as a 990 filer and the return type does not match the IRS' files for that EIN. Two of them are returns that rolled over from successful e-filings last year.

Anyone have the same problem? Any idea what to do (before I resort to calling the IRS)?
