Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) Matching

 

New Sign-In Options Now Available

E-Services transitioned to a new sign-in system that requires new users to register or sign in with ID.me, the current IRS credential service provider.

Existing e-Services users may continue to sign in with an active IRS username and don’t need to take any action at this time.

E-Services applications will prompt all users to accept the terms of agreement the first time signing in after July 24, 2022. 


This is a pre-filing service only offered to payers and/or their authorized agents who submit information returns. It enables validation of TIN and name combinations prior to submission of the information return. Interactive or bulk options are available.

Payers must be listed on the IRS Payer Account File (PAF) database to participate. Refer to Publication 2108-A, On-Line Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) Matching ProgramPDF for complete information.
