Adding tax ID issue to shop

Is anyone having issues with uploading their tax id to the finance area? Mine keeps saying that it can’t verify my business. All my info was correct with the IRS and Secretary of State filing number. It would have an issue saving my info and kept saying error. The only way it would save is if I put my name as the entity which is not correct. I actually have a true business name. Now my shop is frozen. I was told I need to correct my info and save it then it would reviewed. The only thing that needs changed is my entity name to my business but it still doesn’t recognize it nor will it save. Any suggestions on how to get my shop back up and running?

Re: Adding tax ID issue to shop

Are the forms of name consistent across the board.  Both IRS and your state?

You can register as a sole propietor with an EIN number if desired.   If you don't have employees and file taxes as an individual you may be considered a sole proprietor.   You may be considered a disregarded entity.

Are you writing the name as written in the document?  Tried it exactly as entered without the additional information on the line or conversely trying it will all the words on the line.

If you tried shortly after registering, you might want to wait a few days to let time for the information to be incorporated into the database.  It might be a time issue.
