Standard TIN Matching (24 Hours)
TIN Matching is a validation process that verifies the TIN and Name combination of recipients/employees with the IRS database. This verification step is crucial for ensuring the accuracy of your 1099, W-2, and other tax filings, thereby reducing the likelihood of rejections.
The standard TIN Matching process typically takes around 24-48 hours to get the results. This method allows you to validate multiple TINs in a single API request.
How it Works
With TaxBandits API, you can enable TIN Matching right when you collect W-9s from your recipients. You can also opt for TIN Matching separately if you already have the recipients' TIN data.
Initiate TIN Matching through W-9 Request
While using the RequestByUrl or RequestByEmail method, you can opt for TIN Matching by setting the IsTINMatching node as ‘TRUE’ in your request JSON.
If you use our Drop-in UI to collect W-9s, you can make the necessary configurations to initiate TIN Matching automatically once the recipients submit the form.
Initiate TIN Matching Separately
To enable TIN Matching separately, you can call the TINMatchingRecipients/Request endpoint. For more information, click here.
