EIN Application
Your Employer Identification Number (EIN) is the federal tax ID your business needs to open bank accounts, file taxes, and hire employees. The IRS application itself is free — what you pay for is our review of your entity structure, selection of the correct entity type, and handling of the full submission, including fax applications for foreign nationals.
Your Business Needs a Federal Tax ID
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a nine-digit number assigned by the IRS to identify your business for tax purposes. It is the business equivalent of a Social Security Number and is required for nearly every business activity.
While the IRS does not charge for an EIN, the application process requires accurate entity classification, responsible party designation, and proper formatting. Errors can cause delays or create compliance issues down the road. We ensure it is done correctly the first time.
Foreign Nationals Welcome
We specialize in EIN applications for foreign nationals without SSNs. The process takes longer (4-6 weeks via fax), but we handle everything from start to finish.
