What Is A 147c Letter And When Is It Required? I Heard It Is Related To EIN Verification But I’m Not Sure When It’s Needed. How Can Someone Request It From The IRS? Also, How Long Does It Typically Take To Receive This Letter?

It's just an IRS confirmation letter of your EIN number, usually needed when a bank or vendor asks for proof of your EIN and you've lost the original notice, you just call the IRS and they can fax or mail it to you.
