How do I know if a TIN is accurate before I e-file to the IRS?
Avalara 1099 & W-9 will automatically check name, TIN type, and TIN against the IRS database. All three must match to get a “pass” or you’re alerted of the error. Avalara allows you to recheck a previously failed TIN at no additional charge.
Can the vendor info in my W-9s be used to populate my 1099s?
Yes. Avalara 1099 & W-9 will save you time and effort by automatically transferring information from the W-9s stored in your account to your 1099s when it comes time to e-file with the IRS.
How do I deliver copies of 1099s to my vendors?
Every vendor for whom you have an email address will automatically receive an e-copy of their 1099 when you e-file to the IRS. For an additional fee, Avalara will send postal mail to vendors.
Can I e-file and e-deliver for previous years?
Yes, you can file original IRS returns for previous years. If you need to make a correction, you may only electronically correct prior years if you e-filed the original with Avalara that year.
What are the IRS penalties if I have missing W-9s during an IRS audit?
IRS fines for missing W-9s can range from $60 to $630 per missing form. It’s a smart practice to collect them early and keep them in a secure location, especially since they contain sensitive information such as your vendors’ social security numbers.
What additional support does Avalara offer specifically for marketplace merchants?
Avalara can help smooth the process of collecting W-9s directly from a marketplace website. With our ecommerce plugin, sellers won’t need to leave the marketplace’s controlled environment, giving them enhanced confidence that their personal data is safe.
