The non-member's taxpayer ID number (). This can be the non-member's Social Security Number (SSN), Employer Identification Number (EIN), or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) uses the ITIN for Federal tax reporting only. It is a nine-digit number that always begins with the number 9 and has a range of 70-88, 90-92 and 94-99 in the fourth and fifth digit. The IRS issues ITINs to individuals who must have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but who do not have, and are not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA). After you tab off the field, Portico will mask the taxpayer ID number using asterisks followed by the last 4 digits of the number. If your administrator assigns you to the Portico – User Can View/Maintain TIN security group or a credit union-defined security group with the Portico – User Can View TIN permission or the Portico – User Can Maintain TIN permission, an eye indicator appears within the field to indicate that you have permission to view the taxpayer ID number. You can select inside the field to show the taxpayer ID. When you select out of the field, the system masks the taxpayer ID. Length: 9 numeric |
