Industries We Serve

Treasury and payments teams sit at the intersection of fraud prevention, sanctions compliance, and IRS reporting — responsible for ensuring every outgoing payment goes to a verified, legitimate payee who is not on a government watchlist. TIN Comply validates payee TINs against IRS records, screens against OFAC SDN and 250+ global sanctions lists, and provides the audit trail documentation that treasury teams need to demonstrate due diligence on every payment.

Telecommunications companies pay large populations of contractors, infrastructure vendors, and service providers — all requiring accurate TIN validation for 1099 reporting and screening against relevant sanctions and watchlists. TIN Comply validates vendor TINs at onboarding, maintains ongoing screening against OFAC and global watchlists, and keeps vendor records clean and audit-ready across high-volume payment operations.

Tax professionals and in-house compliance teams need more than a pass/fail result from IRS TIN matching — they need EIN lookup to resolve mismatches, W-9 collection tools to gather corrected information, B-Notice workflow tracking to document solicitations, and 972CG penalty response support when notices arrive. TIN Comply covers the full compliance cycle from initial validation through IRS notice response, with managed services available for teams that need hands-on support.

Retailers and e-commerce platforms issue 1099s to suppliers, independent sellers, and service vendors across large and frequently changing populations. TIN Comply validates vendor and seller TINs at onboarding — via portal for smaller teams or API for platforms processing high volumes — so mismatches are resolved before filing rather than after CP2100 notices arrive.

Real estate companies issue 1099s across a range of payment types — agent commissions, rental income, contractor payments, and proceeds from property transactions — each with its own reporting requirements and payee validation needs. TIN Comply validates payee TINs against IRS records, screens parties against sanctions lists, and maintains the documentation needed to support accurate reporting and clean closings.

Procurement and vendor management teams are the first line of defense against the TIN mismatches, sanctions exposure, and missing W-9s that create problems at year-end. TIN Comply validates new vendor TINs at onboarding, screens against OFAC and 250+ global watchlists, and maintains a clean, audit-ready vendor record — so compliance problems are caught before the first purchase order, not after the first 1099 filing.

Payroll and HR teams are responsible for collecting W-9s, validating contractor TINs, and ensuring 1099-NEC filings are accurate — but the tools to do this are rarely built into payroll systems. TIN Comply fills the gap: collect W-9s electronically, validate TINs against IRS records at onboarding, flag mismatches before they become B-Notices, and maintain full audit trail documentation for every contractor in the population.

Manufacturers manage complex supplier networks that span domestic contractors, international vendors, and specialized service providers — all requiring accurate TIN validation for 1099 reporting and sanctions screening for trade compliance. TIN Comply validates supplier TINs against IRS records, screens against trade and export sanctions lists, and supports bulk vendor master cleanup when records have accumulated errors over time.

Logistics companies and supply chain managers pay large and frequently changing populations of carriers, freight brokers, and vendors — many of whom require 1099 reporting and all of whom should be screened against export control and trade sanctions lists. TIN Comply validates vendor TINs at onboarding, screens against relevant watchlists, and keeps records audit-ready across a high-turnover vendor population.

Law firms occupy an unusual position in the 1099 reporting framework: the attorney exception means legal fees are reportable even when paid to corporations, and settlement proceeds paid to claimants require accurate TIN validation for 1099-MISC Box 10 reporting. TIN Comply validates payee TINs and EINs against IRS records, screens parties against sanctions lists, and maintains the documentation law firms need for both compliance and due diligence purposes.

IT and ERP teams building vendor onboarding and payment workflows need compliance validation that integrates directly into existing systems — not a separate portal that requires manual uploads and separate logins. TIN Comply's RESTful API delivers IRS TIN matching, EIN lookup, and sanctions screening via a single endpoint, with JSON responses, multiple API keys, and no IRS e-Services registration required to get started.

Hotels, travel operators, and event companies pay diverse contractor and vendor populations — entertainers, catering companies, maintenance contractors, and agency partners — many of whom require 1099 reporting at year-end. TIN Comply validates vendor TINs before payment, screens against global sanctions lists, and keeps vendor records organized so compliance documentation is available when it's needed.

Healthcare organizations face two distinct compliance obligations before making payments to providers and vendors: IRS TIN validation to support accurate 1099 reporting, and HHS OIG exclusion list screening to avoid payments to excluded individuals and entities. TIN Comply handles both in a single workflow, with full documentation for compliance audits and regulatory reviews.

Government agencies and their contractors are required to verify that vendors are not listed on SAM.gov exclusion lists before awarding contracts or processing payments. TIN Comply combines IRS TIN matching with SAM.gov and broader watchlist screening, providing documented validation results that support procurement integrity and audit requirements.

Gig platforms onboard contractors daily and issue 1099-NECs and 1099-Ks across worker populations that can number in the thousands. Validating TINs at year-end is too late — mismatches discovered after filing trigger B-Notices, backup withholding, and penalty notices. TIN Comply's API validates contractor TINs at onboarding, before the first payout, so filing season is clean by the time it arrives.

Gaming operators face dual compliance obligations: IRS reporting for jackpot winnings and other taxable payouts requires validated W-2G and 1099 filings, while vendor and patron screening against sanctions and self-exclusion watchlists is a separate regulatory requirement. TIN Comply handles TIN validation and 250+ list screening in a single platform with exportable documentation for every check.

Energy companies and utilities manage large and constantly changing contractor and supplier populations — field crews, equipment vendors, engineering firms, and specialized service providers. TIN Comply validates vendor TINs against IRS records, screens against trade and export sanctions lists, and maintains clean vendor master records so 1099 season doesn't require a scramble.

Educational institutions and research organizations issue 1099s to a wide range of payees — contractors, guest speakers, research participants, stipend recipients, and vendors. TIN Comply validates TIN/name combinations against IRS records and screens payees against sanctions lists, keeping compliance documentation organized and audit-ready across a diverse payment population.

Fintech platforms and crypto companies onboard payees at high volume and face overlapping KYC, AML, and IRS reporting obligations. TIN Comply's API-driven validation embeds IRS TIN matching and sanctions screening directly into onboarding flows — validating identity and watchlist status before the first transaction, with no IRS registration required to get started.

TIN Comply helps banks and financial institutions reduce AML and OFAC exposure by screening customers and counterparties against 250+ sanctions and watchlists. Real-time IRS TIN Matching adds an extra layer of identity validation to support confident onboarding and regulatory defensibility.

TIN Comply helps Accounts Payable teams validate W-9s and vendor TINs in real time to prevent 1099 errors, IRS notices, and costly rework. Reduce compliance risk and streamline vendor onboarding with bulk uploads, clear results, and built-in sanctions screening.
