Thanks!
What do you mean by "won't send it'", and "reapply immediately"? The outcome could be quite different depending on whether the application is cancelled by then or still open! So are you going to tell them you don't want to send the tax forms, and to cancel your application (if it can't be approved without those tax forms), before you reapply?
And don't use a fake business name when reapplying. That's just likely to get you in more trouble. If reapplying with your SSN, give your name as the business name, your address as the business address, your phone as the business phone, along with zero history and zero business income and minimum (1 counting you) employees and sole proprietorship.
