SSNs, EINs and ITINs: Withholding Agent Webinar

Did you get notification at your financial institution last year that many of your names on accounts did not match? The IRS is seriously working the names and withholding for accounts and your responsibility as withholding agent is becoming very important. Your financial institution may incur penalties, be responsible for withholding if your financial institution does not understand how the IRS reads names and it can be costly.
