All:
How can I get a letter from the IRS confirming a business client's name and tax id#
Thank you for your assistance,
The internet says this, but if you call, be sure youve got a POA or have the client call, they wouldnt help me with that stupid 4 letter name control thing on a trust without a POA.
The easiest way to get a copy of an EIN verification letter is to call the IRS. Follow the below process to obtain a tax ID verification letter from the IRS:
True Captain Obvious. 😀
Unless I applied for the EIN I'm not likely to have it.
Clients lose these. Or can't be bothered to look for it.
All of my clients save theirs ———but none of them seem to remember where. Of course within a week most of my clients don’t seem to recall where they put their tax return either.😳
I seem to have lost mine. I think my folks gave me a copy of it the day after the hospital released me after my birth but for the life of me I don't remember where I put it.
No copy of prior year return? Is this a new client? Their accounting department should have the information.
If this client can't provide this information to you, fire him. It is not your job to do his/her work.
