Once you register as a Reporting Agent for your clients by obtaining paper 8655 forms signed by your clients and send them to the IRS,  and the IRS has processed your 8655 forms, they will place you on their Reporting Agents Listing and provide you with 2 pieces of information:
A Reporting Agent PIN which is a 5 digit number provided by the IRS that will be your electronic signature on these returns.
A listing of the official name control values for all of the companies you are reporting for.  This information is only needed if you plan to send payments with your balance due returns.

Thank you so much. Apparently I forgot the Reporting Agent Control Number is the first four letters of my last name. I should have checked last year's program. Your last sentence states I should have the official list of all companies I report for. What is the best way to obtain the list?

And a Happy New Year!

Andy
