TIN Verification Service for ACA Forms 1095-C and 1095-B
Ensure Accuracy Before You File
Accurate Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and name combinations are critical for successful ACA reporting.
Submitting incorrect TINs — whether for employees or dependents — can cause IRS rejections, penalties, and time-consuming correction filings.
To help you stay compliant and avoid costly errors, Outsource1095 offers a reliable TIN Verification (TIN Matching) Service for all 1095-C and 1095-B filings.
Our service automatically checks your employee and dependent TINs against IRS records before your ACA forms are filed — giving you confidence that your submission will be accepted the first time.
Why TIN Verification Matters
A common reason for IRS rejection of ACA forms is an invalid or mismatched Social Security Number (SSN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN).
When a 1095 form is rejected, you must file a corrected form — which can be time-consuming, costly, and stressful.
By verifying TINs before submission, you can:
-
✅ Prevent IRS penalties for incorrect TIN/name combinations
-
✅ Avoid B-Notices and re-filing costs
-
✅ Improve first-time acceptance rates with the IRS
-
✅ Save time and reduce administrative overhead
TIN Matching is one of the most effective ways to ensure clean, accurate ACA filings.
How Our TIN Matching Service Works
Our TIN Matching Service integrates seamlessly with our ACA e-filing system:
-
Select TIN Matching when submitting your forms
Simply choose the TIN Matching option during your ACA filing process. -
Automatic verification before e-filing
Our system sends your TIN and name combinations securely to the IRS for verification before transmitting your ACA forms. -
Immediate feedback on discrepancies
If any mismatches are detected, we notify you right away so you can verify and correct the information. -
Re-verification and submission
Once corrected, we re-verify your TINs and proceed with IRS e-filing once all data is validated.
This automated, pre-filing check significantly reduces the chance of rejections and ensures smoother ACA compliance.
Understanding IRS Match Indicators
When TINs are checked, the IRS returns a Match Indicator Code for each record.
Below are the standard codes and their meanings:
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | TIN and Name combination match IRS records |
| 1 | TIN is missing or not 9 digits |
| 2 | TIN entered is not currently issued |
| 3 | TIN and Name combination do not match IRS records |
| 4 | Invalid TIN request (letters or special characters detected) |
| 5 | Duplicate TIN matching request |
| 6 | TIN and Name combination match IRS SSN records |
| 7 | TIN and Name combination match IRS EIN records |
| 8 | TIN and Name combination match both SSN and EIN records |
Our system interprets these codes automatically, alerts you to any issues, and guides you through next steps if corrections are needed.
