77b. When should the name and EIN of a third-party payer be included on Form 7200?
Employers who file Form 7200, Advance Payment of Employer Credits Due to COVID-19, to claim an advance payment of credits are required to include on the form the name and EIN of the third party payer they use to file their employment tax returns (such as the Form 941) if the third party payer uses its own EIN on the employment tax returns.
This will ensure advance payment of the credits received by the common law employer is properly reconciled to the employment tax return filed by the third-party payer for the calendar quarter for which the advance payment of the credits is received.
To help expedite and ensure proper processing of Form 7200 and reconciliation of advance payment of the credits to the employment tax return for the calendar quarter, only those third party payers who will file an employment tax return on behalf of an employer using the third party payer’s name and EIN should be listed on the Form 7200. Typically, CPEOs, PEOs, and other 3504 agents fall into this category of third-party payers.
If a third party payer will file the employment tax return on an employer’s behalf using the employer’s name and EIN and not the name and EIN of the third party payer, the employer should not include the name and EIN of the third party payer on the Form 7200. Typically, reporting agents and payroll service providers fall into this category of third-party payers.
