Tax Identity Management 101

The Comprehensive Guide to Understanding and Complying with IRS TIN Matching Requirements

Overcome Hidden Nuances of the IRS TIN Matching Requirements

Enforcing tax identity information reporting is a priority for governments to increase revenue and reduce the current $9B tax gap. Businesses must report employees’ tax identification numbers (TINs) and names to government agencies to ensure that individuals and businesses are being reported in their database correctly and reconcile what’s being reported on 1099 and annual income tax returns.  

If reported incorrectly, the IRS can take action by issuing Notice CP2100 (“B” Notice), assessing Notice 972CG (“P” Notice) and enforcing backup withholding by issuing penalties to a business.

Knowing what the IRS requires in 2020 will minimize the liability of incorrect reporting to the IRS. This can help your business save significant time and money.
