0
Name/TIN combination matches IRS records.
1
Missing TIN or TIN is not a 9-digit numeric.
2
TIN not currently issued.
3

7

Other lists

For other lists, you will get a range of numbers:
  • A zero or blank box means that there were no potential matches found on that list for that name.

  • Any other number, for example, a 6 means we found that many (6) potential matches.

Tip:

To get results that are more detailed on the specific lists, you can run a real-time check manually.
