File it as Interest Income only.... I personally looked into this. The Number you are all searching IS NOT an EIN and this is a notice that THE IRS PAID YOU INTEREST INCOME!!! that number you are all reading is an internal number the IRS uses and has NOTHING to do with EIN numbers. You were paid interest income FROM the irs due to a delay in a tax refund or similar. The notice is telling you this and instead of receiving a actual 1099 from a business entity, the IRS sent you that notice. Their mistake for the last 10+ years is they keep placing that number that "resembles" an EIN and the poor sap that owns that EIN is paying the price for it by getting THOUSANDS of inquiries into their business. As of today, January 17, 2021, the number in question was issues to another business entity who incorporated in 2019, thus IMPOSSIBLE for that entity to be the one in the notice from 2011. It is a crying shame the IRS has not stopped using that number which has caused THOUSANDS of google searches over the last decade looking into the issue
