Yes, we only accept Bulk TIN Match uploads generated within our software. For security reasons, we no longer accept flat files such as .XLS, .TXT, etc. If you don't want to purchase our software, we encourage you to consider TINCheck.com. |
Validate individual Name/TINs at TINCheck.com. TINCheck is a great option for those unable to submit via our Bulk TIN Match Wizard. TINCheck can also be integrated with 1099 Pro software for REALTIME validations. Direct TINCheck inquiries to support@tincheck.com, not the Service Bureau. |
The records included in your Bulk TIN Match upload are determined by the filer(s) and form type(s) you select in the Bulk TIN Match Upload Wizard, however certain records are automatically excluded. Your Bulk TIN Upload file may contain fewer records than the number of tax forms you issued this year.

In accordance with IRS guidelines to prevent phishing for name/TIN combinations, duplicate records are automatically stripped from bulk TIN files. For example, if you issued three 1099s to "Jane Doe", only the first "Jane Doe" name/TIN combination is included in your upload file. Likewise, if you issued multiple forms to TIN "123-45-6789", only the first "123-45-6789" name/TIN combination is included in your upload file. You may legitimately be issuing a dozen records to unique individuals with the name "Jane Doe", however you cannot submit them all in a single upload. This is per the IRS, not a bug or limitation in our software. Isolate Stripped Records Corporate Suite and 1099 Pro Enterprise (not 1099 Pro Professional nor 1042-S Pro) allow you to generate a list of stripped records from your Bulk TIN Match upload file. For guidance in this process, search "Stripped" in your software help file. |
You can validate individual Recipient Name/TIN data at TINCheck.com. |

Your results file details any recipient with a name/TIN mismatch. Carefully review each recipient against their on file Form W-9 to isolate the error(s). If you cannot determine the error, issue a new Form W-9 and track responses via 1099 Pro's built-in Manage Information Requests Utility. Should you receive IRS Notice 972CG, you must be able to document that you have performed your due diligence in attempting to obtain accurate recipient name/TIN data. Search "TIN Management Utility" in your 1099 Pro software help file for further details. |
This table lists common reasons why a record might generate a name/TIN mismatch. Reference IRS Pub. 1586 (online), Section IX. IRS Matching Process and Name Controls, for a thorough understanding of this process. 1099 Pro does not provide accounting or legal advice. It is the filer's responsibility to report accurate data.
