My EIN 

What is a EIN?

 

A federal tax ID (officially known as an Employer Identification Number or EIN) is a unique number assigned to a business or organization by the IRS.

 

A business uses its federal tax ID much like a person uses a Social Security number
 

Who Needs One?

 

The IRS requires most business entities to use a federal tax ID (EIN)—corporations, partnerships, most LLCs, and some sole proprietorships.

 

A federal tax ID offers other benefits, even when it isn't required by the IRS. An Employer Identification Number or EIN can help protect against identity theft, and it's often a prerequisite for opening a business bank account.

 $49 / no filing fees.
