Why do I have to do this?
We could not register your business successfully, as our SMS partner has identified you as a company with an EIN, which is a different registration path than Sole Proprietors.
How do I resolve this issue?

What if I submitted the correct information already?
If you have already submitted information you believe is correct (EIN and business name), you’ll need to send us your CP 575 EIN Letter, and we’ll need to open a support ticket.
What if I submitted my information and reached the maximum number of retries?
If you have reached the maximum number of retries, you must upload your CP 575 EIN Letter and we will re-register you. You will see a banner on your dashboard that allows you to upload your CP 575 letter, if you are in this state.
What if I've misplaced or lost my CP 575 Letter?
In the event that your CP 575 letter has been misplaced or lost, you can request a copy from the IRS. Please visit the IRS’ official website here to initiate the process of obtaining a replacement CP 575 (also known as letter 147C).
Can I upload the 147C letter?
Certainly, as the IRS does not issue additional CP 575 letters, they will provide you with a copy, known as the letter 147C, upon your request.
What if I don’t have an EIN?
