One of my clients rec'd a levy letter from the IRS re: a vendor's payments. The vendor never sent the client a W-9 form and therefore when sent in 1099 to IRS, rec'd letter from IRS stating EIN/SS# did not match their records. Sent a B notice to Vendor with no response. The Vendor has not provided any services to us since 2009. Is the client (the payor) obligated to any tax payments or is it just the vendor (payee)?
Thanks for advice.
