Find the business documents requested for verification
Use an IRS-issued EIN record when your payment setup asks for business proof.
On this page
Read the document request for the collecting business. Match its legal name and EIN to the official record.
Step 1: Read the request
Open the collecting account’s payment verification. Check which document is required and the accepted file instructions.
Step 2: Find the EIN confirmation
Look for the IRS notice issued when the business received its EIN. Form SS-4 is the application; a blank application is not proof of an assigned EIN.
Step 3: Request a replacement if needed
If the original confirmation is missing, follow the IRS’s current process to request a 147C EIN verification letter. Be ready to verify your authority for the business.
Step 4: Submit through secure verification
Return to the existing account request and use its secure document control. Follow the displayed file rules, then check the account status after review.
Which document is which?
| Document | Purpose |
|---|---|
| EIN confirmation notice (such as CP 575) | IRS-issued record showing the business legal name and assigned EIN. |
| 147C letter | IRS confirmation of an existing EIN when you need verification. |
| Form SS-4 | Application used to request an EIN; not the same as the issued confirmation. |
Keep the details consistent
Use the business name and EIN on the IRS record. If an account detail changed or does not match, follow the verification request before resubmitting.
Check the result
- You have identified the requested official record and can follow the account’s secure submission instructions. Uploading a file does not itself approve payouts.
FAQs
Where do I obtain the letter?
Use the official IRS process for the EIN record you need. Rentari does not issue or replace IRS documents.
Can I use a state business registration instead?
Follow the accepted-document list for the request. A state registration does not by itself confirm the IRS name and EIN match.
Should I email the document to support?
Use the secure verification form. Support can explain a request without receiving your full tax document in an ordinary message.
