Common Errors to Avoid When Submitting Forms

Avoiding these common errors will ensure a timely and accurate set-up or update of your business in the state's vendor system

• Tax ID Number (TIN) discrepancies between forms
  • Example: Using your SSN on one form and your EIN on another
  • Example: You are currently set up in the state's system under your SSN but you submitted forms with an EIN
    • If you're looking to change your TIN, please reach out to vendorinfo@publiccounsel.net for additional guidance before submitting your form.

• Incorrect or missing address information
  • Examples: Missing zip code, incorrect street number, etc.

• Incorrect company name
  • Example: The EIN given is not assigned to the name of the company given on the forms

• Incorrect or missing digits in bank account details 
  • Example: Routing number does not match the bank listed on the forms
    **Please ensure that both the routing number and account number on all of your forms match the attached voided check or bank letter in its entirety**

• Omitting old bank account details on EFT update forms
  • The Comptroller will not accept your EFT update without this information
