Q: RESULTS OF MY SEARCH CAME BACK AS A NO LOCATE. WHY?

'NO LOCATES' usually involve one of the following: 1. The individual believed to be a 'Responsible Party' is in fact NOT attached to the federal tax account. • If Tier 1 was requested, we will return a NO HIT and contact you regarding possibly running a new Tier 2 search. • If Tier 2 was the original order, a NO HIT means we exhausted all options to identify the correct individual. 2. The current business address on file cannot be identified. 3. An FEIN does NOT exist. Some people establishing a single member LLC do not obtain a FEIN.

WHAT INFO IS REQUIRED TO PROCESS AN FEIN SEARCH?

Accepted Answer

• Name of company and current address on file.

• State of domestic registration.

• Name of 'Responsible Party' (owner, partner or president) w/SSN, DOB and personal address.

Question 5

CAN ACCURATEFEIN.COM PROVIDE ANY OF THE REQUIRED INFO IF I DO NOT HAVE?

Accepted Answer

YES.

In most cases we can develop the correct profile as long as we have the business name and state of its domestic filing. 
​​
We offer two different searches depending upon the information we are required to locate. See 'Pricing'  in the main menu.

Question 6

HOW DO I COMMUNICATE WITH ACCURATEFEIN.COM?

Accepted Answer

Primary contacts:   support@accuratefein.com  |  866-220-7830

Documents can be uploaded through the Order Request Form.

Additionally, we can send a secure link to your email which will allow you to upload via your client portal through Sync.com. This is the same app we use to send your final reports.

Question 7

I SEE A PERSON LISTED AS THE REGISTERED AGENT. IS THIS THE CORRECT RESPONSIBLE PARTY?

Accepted Answer

Occasionally, YES.

Majority of the time, NO.

Question 8

WHAT DATA WILL I RECEIVE?

Accepted Answer

• The verified FEIN assigned to the requested business entity.

• The current business address on file will be verified and returned in most cases.
​​
 • Any additional data identified which may be helpful in the course of an investigation. Examples: name changes,  relevant addresses, names of co-owners or partners.

Question 9

NAME CHANGE BUT NOT CHANGED.  CONFUSED?

Accepted Answer

A business can change their name through the Secretary of State’s office in which the entity is established but fail to change it on their federal tax account. The update to the Secretary of State’s office normally is enough for a business to change names on their bank accounts, leases, etc.
​
BY DEFAULT - if there is no evidence of a complete corporate structure reorganization that would involve obtaining a new FEIN (e.g. changing from a Partnership to a Corporation), we will proceed with the search using both old and new names to successfully provide the FEIN on file.  
​
Quick note: After doing these for 20+ years, I would say at least 70% of the entities we have investigated, which had changed their name in the previous 5 years, had not updated their federal tax account name.
