IRS TIN Matching Program Vs Compliancely Real-Time TIN Matching System

IRS TIN Matching Program
Posted on January 7, 2022 - 11:10 am by

It is established that TIN matching is one of the most important tools to verify the legal and tax-related information of business entities and individuals.

 

Businesses, especially, employers use IRS TIN matching to identify, validate, and verify the tax information of their vendors and employees. While the IRS TIN Matching program is a perfectly good system on its own to validate and lookup TINs, it is not the only way to verify TINs.

 

Peak hours during the filing season, heavy web traffic, and other factors can slow down your TIN matching operations, slowing down your reporting and filing processes.

 

But authorized agents of the IRS, such as Compliancely, enable you to validate TINs online without any delays (apart from scheduled maintenance), helping you to verify more TINs in less time.
