Check the rules for participating in the cell phone auction
In general, any citizen, whether an individual or legal entity, can participate if their situation is regularized with the Federal Revenue Service.
It is always important to pay attention to the notices before participating in the Federal Revenue auctions. This is because some auctions are exclusive to legal entities, that is, companies, exclusively, while others are for individuals.
The IRS usually organizes two types of auctions, in-person and online auction. Currently, with the pandemic situation we are experiencing, most auctions have been online.
And so that you can participate in the online auctions organized by the Federal Revenue Service, you need to register on the Revenue website and read the notice for each auction.
In addition, you will also need a digital certificate. This certificate needs to be purchased; several websites sell this certificate to both individuals and legal entities. Once this is done, you will need a code that is provided by the e-CAC Portal of the Federal Revenue Service.
Having these two elements in hand and being in a fully regularized situation with the Federal Revenue Service, you will then be able to participate in the Auction and place your bids to try to win the items you are interested in.
