FAQs

What are the different types of TINs?

A Tax Identification Number, or TIN, is issued by the IRS and comes in several different forms. One of the most common is the Social Security Number (SSN) issued by the Social Security Administration (SSA). An SSN is the only TIN that is not issued by the IRS. In contrast, An Employer Identification Number, or EIN, is distributed by the IRS and typically assigned to an entity such as a business, trust, or estate. An Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) is a tax processing number assigned to individuals that do not qualify for an SSN but may still have a U.S. tax obligation and therefore need a TIN. 

What are TINs used for?

TINs are used for various reasons such as credit applications, opening a bank account, and other due diligence purposes. They are also used as an identifier (hence the name) for tax purposes. TINs are regularly submitted on IRS documents such as a W-9, 1099-MISC, 1099-patr, 1099-div or other information returns.

What happens when a business does not have accurate TIN information?

If the IRS discovers incorrect information, they will typically send a notification to the filer. It then becomes the responsibility of the filer to take action to correct the mistake or be subject to penalties and fines.

What is a CP2100 notice?

A CP2100 Notice is the method by which the IRS notifies a filer that information submitted to the IRS contains incorrect information. This notice provides the filer the details of what the IRS believes to be incorrect and the opportunity to remedy the filing.

What is A B-Notice?

If you are provided incorrect information on a 1099, a B-Notice can be submitted to the individual or entity that provided you incorrect information. In this notice, the person submitting incorrect information is informed of their need to provide corrected information or otherwise be subjected to a mandatory withholding on the payment they are to receive. 

These notices become crucial should you need to defend yourself against an imposed penalty for incorrect or missing information on a tax filing.

What is in the TIN Match API?

The EINsearch.com TIN Match API is an essential tool for businesses and financial institutions to ensure the accuracy of tax identification numbers (TINs) and maintain compliance with IRS regulations. This API integrates directly with the IRS database, allowing users to verify TINs in real time.
