IRS TIN-matching for foreign entity?
October 9, 2024
Q. Can the Foreign TIN be confirmed through IRS TIN Matching? Additionally, are Foreign Entities required to obtain an EIN?
A.
(Answered by IOFM's third-party tax experts)
The IRS TIN matching program allows for the matching of name/ TIN combinations on 1099-reportable income subject to backup withholding requirements – you cannot confirm a foreign TIN through IRS TIN matching. Foreign entities are not required to obtain an EIN.
