What name do you associate with the tax ID number for IOLTA and IBRETA accounts-the firms name or the word IOLTA or IBRETA. We had one show up on our mis-match report from the IRS and are trying to figure out what we did wrong.

Sorry I can help you as we do not bank IOLTAs or IBRETAs.

Look at the letter from the IRS - whatever name the EIN was issued to is the name to report taxes under.

If the account title reflects the name of the lawyer or law firm and you (correctly) use the EIN of the bar foundation you will get a B-Notice. Fortunately, these accounts are not subject to required information reporting, you can suppress the 1099-INT.
