SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: e-Services Registration TIN Matching--Application and 
Screens for TIN Matching Interactive.
    OMB Number: 1545-1823.
    Abstract: E-services is a system which permits the Internal Revenue 
Services to electronically communicate with third party users to 
support electronic filing and resolve tax administration issues for 
practitioners, payers, states and Department of Education Contractors. 
Registration is required to authenticate users that plan to access e-
services products. This system is a necessary outgrowth of advanced 
information and communication technologies. TIN Matching is one of the 
products available through e-Services offered via the internet and 
accessible through the irs.gov Web site. TIN Matching allows a payer, 
or their authorized agent, who is required to file information returns 
for income subject to backup withholding to match TIN/Name combinations 
through interactive and bulk sessions. It is necessary for payers to 
apply online to use TIN Matching, and the information requested in the 
application process is used to validate them systemically as payers of 
the correct types of income.
    Current Actions: This is no change in the paperwork burden 
previously approved by OMB. This form is being submitted for renewal 
purposes only.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit organizations and 
not-for-profit institutions.
