Resolve Google Play Tax Verification

I keep running into the same wall inside Google Play Console. Every time I upload our W-9 as a PDF, the system replies: “We couldn’t verify your tax information with the document(s) you submitted. Make sure the information on your documents exactly matches the information on your tax form, and try again.”

The form itself is clean—generated from the IRS site, signed, and the legal name, EIN, and address match what I’ve entered in the console. I have tried new scans, flattened the PDF, different file names, and even recreated the W-9 from scratch, yet the rejection never changes and Google support is silent.

I need someone who has already solved this exact verification loop to pinpoint what Google is flagging and guide me to a successful submission. Experience with Google Play Console’s tax center, U.S. W-9 requirements, and common mismatch triggers (TIN formatting, legal entity naming conventions, PDF metadata, etc.) is essential.

Deliverables
• Clear explanation of the specific mismatch or technical issue causing the rejection
• A corrected W-9 file or the precise console field edits required
• Step-by-step instructions so I can repeat the process confidently in the future

The project is finished when the console accepts the upload with no further errors. Quick turnaround this week is preferred.
