Accurate, Timely Tax Filings Are Possible with TIN Matching
It’s called a TIN – and it’s an essential number when filing W-2s, 1099s and ACA forms. 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 by the Social Security Administration. An EIN, ITIN or, ATIN may only be obtained through the IRS.

Want to avoid these scenarios with the SSA and IRS, as well as the added time and effort to fix errors? Of course you do! That’s why you should check out the TIN Matching service, now available from efile4Biz.com
Mismatches can happen for a variety of reasons – from typos and transposed numbers to unreported name changes with a marriage or divorce. The bigger concern, however, is missing, incomplete or outright false SSNs. Because the SSA is keeping a watchful eye on this and sharing data with other government agencies, it’s vital to carefully check employee and contractor data when filing tax forms.
That’s where TIN Matching from efile4Biz.com comes to your assistance. With this verification service, you can prevent missing TINs or incorrect TIN/name combinations and, in turn, rejected forms, SSA no-match letters and potential IRS penalties. You’ll learn of any discrepancies beforehand, which you can verify with the recipient and correct before forms are e-filed.
