| Does the IRS have a site where you can search out a particular company to get their address, EIN, etc? I'm trying to determine what address the IRS has on file for a client. Thanks. | |
| 28 May 2009 | |
| why don't you just ask your client what address they want to use? Or can't you find the client? | |
| 28 May 2009 | |
| I believe that filing a return with a new address will cause the IRS to update their records. | |
| 28 May 2009 | |
| Go to the IRS website, enter in their address and their EIN, and it will bring up the information you want.
[P.S. I thought only charities had all this information plastered on the IRS site.] | |
| 28 May 2009 | |
| This is a charity. I went to irs.gov and entered their ein and got no results. I entered their name and got no results. Where are you supposed to enter the info? Thanks. | |
| 28 May 2009 | |
| I have never done this before.
Maybe you have to go the the Exempt Organization section of the site. Or try to find a number for EO and call them and ask them. It's also possible that the organization you are looking for is merely posing as a 501(c)(3)? | |
