TIN Matching on Your 1099 Tax Forms
Posted by Realsearch
TIN Matching is More Important than Ever.
Matching Tax ID Numbers (TINs) with their correct counterpart names is more important than ever. Chances are that you will be filing a 1099 Form sooner or later, and it is more urgent than ever to make certain there are no errors on your 1099 Tax Filing Form. Why? Because mistakes in matching TINs with names are easier to make than you may realize, and the penalties for making those mistakes are steep, and could be getting steeper.
The IRS is backlogged in its communique with American taxpayers, so you could file your 1099, think all of your TIN matching was correct, see a full year go by, and then suddenly be slammed with Tier 3 Tax penalties for inputting mismatched Tax ID Numbers. In fact, for just five small errors, you could face penalties of more than $1,300. If your company is sizeable and you make just 100 errors in TIN matching, that fine could be a whopping $27,000.00! This penalty would hit you out of the blue, more than a year after having filed that 1099 Form, and due to easily-avoidable mistakes with entering incorrect digits in Tax Identification Numbers.

It’s also possible for human error to find its ways into your fingertips, and to simply enter the wrong TIN as you fill out your 1099 Tax Form. Let’s face it - typos happen. No matter what the cause, incorrect TINs are all to commonly entered on tax forms by even the most careful professionals.
