Secure Your Filings with Tax2efile TIN Matching:
Eliminate Penalties and Avoid B-Notices
One of the major reasons leading to IRS penalties is the failure to provide accurate Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs) when you file 1099/1098 tax returns. The TIN Matching operation cannot be considered as a choice rather, it is an essential move that helps to submit the accurate filing and ensures your information returns are accepted the first time.
Tax2efile offers an IRS-authorized, online TIN Matching service that helps in verifying the data of your recipients before filing. Our secure platform connects directly with the IRS database, which validates the data you provided against the records.
What is TIN?
The term “TIN” is defined as the identifying number assigned to someone under the Internal Revenue Code. Specifically, a TIN may be a Social Security Number (SSN), Employer Identification Number (EIN), Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), or Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number (ATIN). A valid Social Security Number may only be issued through the Social Security Administration. An EIN, ITIN, or ATIN may only be obtained through the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
What is TIN Matching and Why Is It Non-Negotiable?
TIN Matching is an electronic program that allows payers (or their authorized agents) to confirm that the Name and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) combination provided by a payee (recipient) matches the official records of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA).
The Real Cost of Non-Compliance
Many businesses underestimate the financial fallout of incorrect TINs. The stakes are high:
IRS Penalties: The IRS imposes penalties under Sections 6721 and 6722 for filing information returns that contain incorrect or missing Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs) or mismatched name/TIN combinations.
B-Notice Issuance: When a return is submitted with the wrong TIN, the IRS sends a “B-Notice” to the filer. The filer is required to reach out to the payee, get a correct TIN, and, if necessary, start Backup Withholding on the upcoming payments, which can result in a considerable increase in administration work and a difficult relationship with the payee.
