Create

Use this endpoint to add a new business to TaxBandits API.

In the request JSON, include all the business details. For descriptions of supported ENUM values, refer to the ENUM reference.

The response returns a unique BusinessId generated by TaxBandits. You can use this identifier in subsequent API requests instead of passing the full business details each time.

Key points

• You may optionally provide your own unique identifier for the business, i.e., PayerRef. This can also be used in your API requests instead of the BusinessId.
• If you prefer to set the business as default, you must set the ‘IsDefaultBusiness’ node as TRUE.
• Per IRS guidelines, if the business is associated with an SSN, you must provide ‘FirstNm’, ‘MiddleNm’, ‘LastNm’, and ‘Suffix’ instead of ‘BusinessNm’.
