@jamesbakercpa: What to do if Stripe blocks $50,000+ in your merchant account! 💳🚨 Stripe typically doesn't run deep Know Your Customer (KYC) audits when you first sign up, they wait until you start generating real transaction volume. When that audit hits, one missing document can result in your payout balance being locked for up to 180–365 days. Here is what Stripe’s compliance team will request: 📄 Entity governance: Articles of Organization, signed Operating Agreement, and proof of beneficial ownership. 📄 IRS tax verification: IRS EIN Confirmation Letter (Form CP575 or 147C). 📄 Operational proof: Verifiable US residential or business address proof, phone number, clear terms of service, and refund policies on your website. If your funds are currently flagged or frozen: 1️⃣ Respond immediately: Delaying your response triggers automated account termination. 2️⃣ Submit perfect documents: Ensure the legal name and physical address match across your state filings, bank account, and Stripe profile down to the exact letter. 3️⃣ Push for human review: Keep open written communication, request senior compliance review, and provide proof of fulfillment for open orders. The best defense is setting up your legal corporate infrastructure before scaling your sales volume. 💬 Comment "LLC" right now and my team will help you prepare the exact legal documents needed to unlock your funds! #MerchantAccount #USLLC #NonResidentTax #CPA #Ecommerce #InternationalTax
