EINs are used to associate and verify transactions you report to the IRS. Therefore, it is important that you furnish correct names and EINs for carriers and consignors on the forms sent to the IRS.

You may use Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, or your own form, to request an EIN from a carrier or a consignor. You may be subject to a penalty for an incorrect or missing EIN on an information return. See Penalty on page 1. You are required to maintain the confidentiality of information obtained on a Form W-9 relating to the taxpayer's identity and you may use such information only to comply with filing these information returns.
