Payee Inquiry Screens
Multi-Tax Summary (MTSUMM)

The Multi-Tax Summary (MTSUMM) screen is part of the Comptroller’s Integrated Taxpayer System (ITS) for information about state taxpayers. The screen displays information an agency may need when setting up and/or researching payees in the Texas Identification Number System (TINS).

The Comptroller’s ITS system stores Social Security numbers (SSNs) for sole owners but does not assign taxpayer numbers based on SSNs or Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs). With the TINS assignment of 7 TINs for SSN- and ITIN-based numbers, 7 TINs are excluded from MTSUMM inquiries. An MTSUMM inquiry must be performed with the assigned taxpayer number beginning with 3 for sole owners who are also taxpayers. Obtain the sole owner’s taxpayer number from a TINS inquiry screen before performing an MTSUMM inquiry to verify the sole owner’s information.

MTSUMM automatically calculates the check digit for a TIN.

Note: This screen contains confidential information that should not be disclosed to the public.
