  • Ensure all vendor Tax IDs match IRS records
  • Reduce the possibility of required tax withholdings for vendors (independent contractors)

Why is it important to Validate a Vendor's Tax ID?

The IRS requires backup tax withholding for all vendors that do not have a valid Tax ID. Let's avoid this extra work by validating the Tax ID upfront.
