After sending the following:

Thank you for your email. I am not qualified to render a legal opinion on this, either, but in my experience with other clients, this has not been an issue.

I am resending the IRS Form W-9 as you requested. If and when the IRS fails or refuses to accept the attached form, I will be glad to provide one dated in 2016.



Respectfully submitted,
Scott Perry, Chief Title Examiner

to which I just received the following reply:

The IRS is not accepting this form, if you feel that that this is incorrect please feel free to contact the IRS directly.

Thank you.

I don't know about anyone else, but I call BS.  Anyone care to comment?
