940 "4-Character Name Control"

[SunTaxMan]

On the worksheet in ATX for Form 940 is a spot for "4-Character Name Control" assigned..by IRS.

What is this designation? I assume it is issued by IRS. For what purpose?

The Form 940 does not appear to have any area for this "designation" to be entered. Nor have I seen it on E-Filed forms.

Thanks,

Usually it's the first four letters of the business name. There are rules for assignment on one of the e-file worksheets. check the bottom tabs under the EF information page - it might be there.
