It’s your company’s tax ID number with the IRS, and without it there’s no bank account, no payroll and no tax return. We prepare and file your application, including when the owner has no Social Security number and doesn’t live in the United States.
The IRS says so on its own website: the number costs nothing, and you should be wary of sites that charge to “sell” it. We don’t sell the number: we prepare your file and submit your application, which is a different thing, and it’s what prevents rejections.
If your principal place of business is in the United States and the responsible party has an SSN or ITIN, you can apply online on your own, and we’ll tell you so. The case where you really need us is the other one: a foreign owner with no SSN and no address in the United States.
The Employer Identification Number is the nine-digit number the IRS uses to identify a business. It is to a company what a personal tax ID number is to an individual: not a license or a permit, just an identifier.
It’s the first document the bank asks for after the formation papers. Without an EIN, you can’t open a business account.
Any payroll in the United States is reported under the company’s EIN.
It’s the identifier the company uses to file its federal returns.
The IRS states it expressly: operating a partnership or a corporation requires an EIN.
Certain changes to the company’s structure require applying for a new EIN.
Clients and platforms ask for it to issue year-end information returns.
It’s the most common situation among our clients, and it blocks the online application. There is another route, but it’s not the one that shows up first when you search.
The online system requires a principal place of business in the United States or its territories. If your headquarters are elsewhere, that route won’t work for you.
The online application can’t be saved: it expires after 15 minutes of inactivity and you have to start over.
It has to be the individual who controls the entity. Listing the parent company or a service provider there causes problems later.
The IRS warns about this: form the entity with the state first. Done the other way around, the application gets delayed or linked incorrectly.
The bank asks for the IRS document, not a number jotted down in an email. Without the letter, you’ll need to request a confirmation letter from the IRS.
We confirm the entity has already been formed with the state. The IRS warns that applying for the EIN before that delays the application.
We identify the individual who controls the entity and gather their details, which are the ones that go on the application.
We choose the route that fits your case and file Form SS-4 with the details already matched to the formation documents.
When the confirmation arrives, we keep it with the rest of your documents. It’s the document the bank will ask for.
A foreign owner with no SSN and no address in the United States: that’s the profile we work with every day.
If we formed the company, the EIN details already match the articles, so there are no discrepancies to fix.
The form is in English; we walk you through it in English or Spanish. We explain what you’re signing, box by box.
The confirmation letter goes into your company file, alongside the articles and the governing document.
Tell us what type of entity it is, where it was formed and whether the responsible party has an SSN. That tells us which route your case takes.
