Nine zeroes 000000000 or blank TIN for account holder?

  • 000000000 passed as TINs will not be valid for XML schema. 
  • The IRS as of 2018 requires all account holders who are specified US persons to provide a TIN. If they are an Owner-documented FFI, Passive NFFE or Non-participating FFI, a blank tin can be provided.  IDES may return a "TIN Not Populated" error from the ICMM system since they will not recognize these Organization Account Holder types are expected to have a blank TIN value.  However, having followed the IRS’ guidance by leaving the TIN blank for these entities, this error can be safely disregarded.

  • If this error is received on an Account Holder record that is not an Organization Account Holder registered as one of the 3 entity types mentioned above, this error cannot be disregarded and instead must be corrected.
