What Certain IRS Notices Mean

What does it mean if a business receives a Notice CP2100 or CP2100A from the IRS?

These notices tell recipients that the Form 1099 information returns they’ve submitted contain missing or incorrect Taxpayer Identification Numbers, names, or both.

How do I respond to Tax Notice CP2100 or CP2100A?

To respond, payers need to compare accounts listed on the notice with their own records and make corrections, if necessary. They may also need to amend backup withholding for payments made to payees. Typically, the IRS sends these notices twice a year, in April and in either September or October. As always, you should promptly respond to any IRS communication.
