Hi Mathias,
We are still trying to reach the IRS but went through that webinar from the IRS and it looks like for most of our errors (TIN issue) that is not a proposed penalty and they laid steps out for a time period for us to correct those.
We still have 3 we need to fix though, missing names and SSN. We have decided to send a correction for those since we are not having any luck reaching the IRS. After HR corrects those, what are the steps to send a correction file? I am assuming you have to re-run the whole process but what marks them as corrected forms?
Also, Does anyone know how to send the DOB instead of SSN on dependents if the SSN is wrong? SSN is a required field for us but we want the system to use DOB instead on the file we transmit to the IRS. We believe a majority of our TIN errors are due to a wrong SSN on dependents.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Angela
