| U.S. Customs Now Requires A Taxpayer Identifying Number On All Checks |
|
December 4, 2009 U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published in today’s Federal Register a notice that all payments made to CBP by check must include the Taxpayer Identifying Number (TIN) on the face of the check effective December 4, 2009. The TIN is either an individual’s social security number or the employer identification number. CBP is requesting the TIN on the face of the check to facilitate accurate payment processing using Paper Check Conversion Over the Counter [PCCOTC] software. PCCOTC has been used by CBP since 2006 to scan payments received, and the scanned images are maintained in a database by Financial Management Services, U.S. Department of the Treasury. The inclusion of the TIN on the face of the check will ensure that the data is collected in a secure and uniform manner. For assistance or additional information, please contact George Tuttle, III at (415) 986-8780 or geo@tuttlelaw.com.
