IRS Confirmation Letter

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:

• Call the IRS support at 800-829-4933.
• Provide the name of your business and other verification details like address and phone number to the support executive.
• Request the support executive for a 147c letter; placing such a request is free.
• If your contact information is the same as what you provided when applying for the EIN, the IRS can send you the verification letter through mail or fax.
• If your contact information has changed, you can receive the verification letter only after you file Form 8822.

Check file for original letter or ask client. Always a good idea to save these.
