Common preparation mistakes and how they delay approval
- Entering a trade or DBA name instead of the legal entity name causes verification failures and additional documentation requests.

Frequently asked questions and troubleshooting
-
What if the legal name is different?
If the name you enter does not match formation documents or the IRS record, the application can be rejected. Confirm the exact legal entity name on the articles of organization or incorporation and on the EIN confirmation letter before submission.
-
Can the form be signed electronically?
Yes—electronic signatures are legally valid under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. §7001) and UETA where adopted. Confirm the recipient accepts e-signatures and follow any required consumer disclosures for consumer-facing records.
-
Is notarization required for all submissions?
Not necessarily. Notarization requirements are jurisdiction- and document-specific. Check the receiving authority’s rules; some states or agencies require notarization or witness attestations for certain attestations.
-
What supporting attachments are usually required?
Common attachments include formation documents, EIN confirmation, proof of address, and authorization letters. Missing or poor-quality attachments are a frequent cause of delays in approval and verification.
-
How long should records be kept?
Retain completed applications per your retention policy and legal baselines: generally at least three years after filing for tax-related records (IRC §6501(a)) and six years for HIPAA-related records (45 CFR §164.530(j)).
-
Whom do I contact if the recipient requests changes?
Return the document to the preparer to update the template and re-execute signatures. For material changes, attach an addendum or have both parties sign a revised application to avoid ambiguity.
