Instant TIN Matching

TaxBandits offers a TIN Matching feature that enables you to ensure the TINs provided by your recipients (using Form W-9) and employees (using Form W-4) match the IRS database. This will help you e-file your 1099 and W-2 forms more accurately.

With our Instant TIN Matching service, the results will be available in real time, and you no longer need to wait a day to get them.

note

As the TINs are validated with the IRS database, there may be a few occasions when the IRS has “Intermittent Issues”. During this period, TaxBandits will provide the TIN Matching status as “ON HOLD”. Once the IRS database is ready, we will complete the TIN Matching and provide the status instantly via Webhook (if configured).
