The 'EmployerEIN', 'EIN, 'SSN' element is invalid.

One of the following validation errors may arise:

The 'EmployerEIN' element is invalid - The value is invalid according to its datatype 'EINType' - The Pattern constraint failed.
The 'EIN' element is invalid - The value is invalid according to its datatype 'EINType' - The Pattern constraint failed.
The 'SSN' element is invalid - The value is invalid according to its datatype 'SSNType' - The Pattern constraint failed.

Our Explanation: A TIN, whether its an employer EIN or an employee's SSN needs to be 9 digits in length and consists only of digits. The 1095 software will strip out any hyphens and just transmit digits.

This error arises because the TIN is either too long or too short or a letter is accidently used instead of a digit. The lower case L or a lower case O look like 1 and 0 respectively and can not be used.
