EIN Verification
Hello all,
Im a new seller and I'm trying to update my tax information. Ive double checked all my info but I'm still getting this error.
''The Name and Tax ID provided do not match IRS records. Please review your previous inputs and ensure the "Name" line is the correct name associated with the Tax ID provided. You should complete the tax information for the individual or business that will report the income on a U.S. income tax return. If you are completing the tax interview on behalf of a single member LLC, generally the owner’s Name and Tax ID would be provided.''
I reached out to the IRS, they confirmed my EIN is active. Im able to update with my personal SSN and my registered business address on a w9 form and it goes through so im very confused.
Can someone help ? I really need to get pass this obstacle.

Being "active" is not the same as what you entered exactly matching what the IRS returns to Amazon.
Double check with the IRS to verify exactly what they have. You should be able to use this number to figure that out, even though it's you giving the name and getting the EIN.
"Ask the IRS to search for your EIN by calling the Business & Specialty Tax Line at 800-829-4933. The hours of operation are 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. local time, Monday through Friday. An assistor will ask you for identifying information and provide the number to you over the telephone, as long as you are a person who is authorized to receive it. Examples of an authorized person include, but are not limited to, a sole proprietor, a partner in a partnership, a corporate officer, a trustee of a trust, or an executor of an estate."
If the phone number gets removed just search "verify my ein with the irs" and click the IRS website.

The name and address on the W9 form are not always the name and address on the letter you received from the IRS stating they granted you an EIN.
Just copy the info on that letter, not your business name, brand, or anything else.
Good luck

What kind of update? From sole proprietor to Single Member LLC?
