An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is essential for businesses operating in the U.S., serving as a unique identifier for federal tax purposes. The application process requires submitting IRS Form SS-4 along with accurate business details. This includes your business name, address, and information about the principal officers. Our expert services ensure your application is filled out correctly and comprehensively, facilitating a smooth process and preventing common errors that could lead to delays in obtaining your EIN.
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is crucial for any entity conducting business in the U.S. It functions like a Social Security Number for your business, providing a unique identifier for various operational and legal requirements. Obtaining an EIN allows your business to hire employees, open business bank accounts, and comply with IRS tax requirements. It establishes your business identity in the financial system, ensuring legal compliance and simplifying the management of your company’s tax-related obligations.

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the IRS to businesses for tax purposes. It’s required for businesses that have employees, operate as a corporation or partnership, file tax returns for employment, excise, or alcohol, tobacco, and firearms, withhold taxes on income, other than wages, paid to a non-resident alien, or have a Keogh plan.
You can apply for an EIN online through the IRS website, by mail, by fax, or by phone (if you’re an international applicant). The online application process is the quickest and most efficient method, usually providing an EIN immediately upon completion.
To apply for an EIN, you will need to provide information about your business, including its legal name, mailing address, responsible party’s name and Social Security Number (SSN), type of business entity, reason for applying, and the date the business was started or acquired.
If you apply online, you will receive your EIN immediately upon completion of the application. If you apply by mail or fax, it can take up to 4 weeks, while international applicants applying by phone will receive their EIN immediately during the phone call.
Sole proprietors without employees can use their SSN instead of an EIN. However, having an EIN is beneficial as it helps separate personal and business finances, which can simplify accounting and protect personal information.
No, an EIN is permanently assigned to your business and cannot be changed. However, if the structure or ownership of your business changes, you may need to apply for a new EIN. For example, if a sole proprietorship incorporates or a partnership changes to a sole proprietorship, a new EIN would be required.
