CTR for a Customer with a Hyphenated Name

Answered by:

Question:

We are doing a CTR for a customer with a hyphenated name. It is hyphenated on her ID and Social Security Card. (Jane Doe-Jones) if we submit the CTR under Jane Jones will the IRS sent it back for a Name/SSN mismatch?

Answer:

Her official last name is Doe-Jones. That's the way you should file. You may or may not receive a mismatch report. If you do, file an amendment.
