What 1099-NEC Software Includes TIN Matching?

TIN matching is critical for preventing IRS B-notices—the notices sent when name/TIN combinations don't match IRS records. The best 1099-NEC software with TIN matching lets you verify contractor information before filing, giving you time to collect correct information and avoid compliance issues.

BoomTax includes integrated TIN matching services. Verify individual TINs or run batch verification for all your contractors before submitting 1099-NEC forms to the IRS.

Why TIN Matching Matters

  • Prevent B-Notices: IRS sends B-notices when filed name/TIN doesn't match their records.
  • Avoid Backup Withholding: Uncorrected mismatches can trigger 24% backup withholding requirements.
  • Reduce Penalties: Filing with incorrect TINs can result in penalties up to $290 per form.
  • Time to Correct: Catch errors before filing deadline to request corrected W-9s.
  • Professional Service: Demonstrate due diligence to clients when managing their 1099 filing.

How TIN Matching Works

  1. Submit: Provide contractor name and TIN (SSN or EIN) for verification.
  2. IRS Check: BoomTax queries IRS TIN matching database.
  3. Results: Receive match/no-match results for each contractor.
  4. Correct: Request updated W-9 from contractors with mismatches.
  5. File: Submit 1099-NEC forms with verified TINs.

Frequently Asked Questions

BoomTax includes integrated TIN matching services with 1099-NEC filing. You can verify individual TINs or run batch verification for all your contractors before filing, helping prevent IRS B-notices and backup withholding requirements.

TIN matching is not required by the IRS, but it's strongly recommended. Verifying TINs before filing helps you identify and correct mismatches before they result in B-notices, backup withholding requirements, or penalties.

If TIN matching shows a mismatch, you should request an updated W-9 from the contractor before filing. If you can't obtain corrected information, you may need to begin backup withholding and should document your verification attempts.
