IRS has provided an electronic system to help ensure that the names and Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) payees provide to you match IRS records.

This system can reduce your risk of receiving warning letters (B Notices) and penalty notices (972CGs) from IRS. However if its used incorrectly, you're at a higher risk of making expensive mistakes.
