EIN applications, handled for you.
We prepare and submit your EIN application to the IRS and deliver your number and confirmation letter. One flat price: $97.
What it is
An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is the federal tax ID the IRS assigns to your business. Banks require it to open a business account, and you need it to hire employees, file business tax returns, and register for many state tax accounts.
Who needs it
- New companies that need a bank account, payroll, or state tax registrations
- Owners without a Social Security Number who cannot use the IRS online tool
- Anyone who wants the application done correctly without deciphering IRS instructions
What we do
- Prepare your EIN application with the correct entity information
- Submit it to the IRS
- Deliver your EIN and the IRS confirmation letter (CP 575)
What you provide
- Your company's legal name and formation details
- The responsible party's name and taxpayer identification information
- Your business address and a few basic details about the company
Price and timeline. $97 flat. There is no government fee for an EIN. [VERIFY: Most online applications are completed the same business day; applications requiring fax or mail processing with the IRS can take several weeks.]
Questions and answers
Can I get an EIN for free on my own?
Yes. The IRS does not charge for an EIN, and many owners apply themselves. You pay us to prepare and submit it correctly the first time, which matters if your situation is not straightforward.
Can you get an EIN if I do not have a Social Security Number?
Yes. Foreign owners without an SSN or ITIN cannot use the IRS online application, but we can prepare and submit the application through the IRS process that fits your situation. It takes longer than an online application.
What is a CP 575 letter?
It is the official IRS confirmation letter showing your EIN. Banks often ask for it. We deliver it to you with your number.
Do I need my company formed before applying for an EIN?
Generally the company should exist before the EIN application is filed. If you need formation too, we offer it as a separate flat-fee service.
Do you give tax advice with the EIN?
No. We prepare and file the application at your direction. Questions about tax classification or elections belong with a CPA.
Is there anything recurring after this?
No. An EIN is issued once and does not renew.
