TIN Verification
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2008-01-07 14:53.
Hi Linda,
Every year we send out about fifty 1099's and every year the IRS sends notification that 4 or 5 of them have an incorrect TIN number.
Do you know of a website that I can key in a TIN number and see if it's valid for the payee's name and address?
Thank you kindly,
Tom Gillmore
SSN Verification
Yes, the Social Security Administration offers SSN Verification Service to register businesses.
If the TIN is a EIN, then it's a little trickier. The IRS does offer a TIN Verification on its e-Services website. However, this site is targeted to tax practitioners & I'm not sure if it's available to the general public. You might try calling the e-Services help desk at 1-866-255-0654 and see if they can help you get setup with the TIN Matching service. It does seem that the IRS is expanding the who e-Services program so it may be that you can register.
Please post a follow up with what you find out & how useful these services are to you.
Thanks!
