What is a INVALID TIN/EIN on my statement?

What is a INVALID TIN/EIN on my statement?

Invalid Tax ID Number (TIN) and/or incorrect Employer Identification Number (EIN) along with the legal name, that was provided on your merchant application does not match what you have on file with the IRS.

This can be corrected by providing us with a Form 147c directly from the IRS.

If you do not have a 147c, call the IRS at 1-800-829-4933 and ask for a Form 147c, also known as an EIN Verification letter, to be issued to you. This number reaches the IRS Business & Specialty Tax department, which is open between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. your local time.
