What Is an EIN and Why You Need One

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is issued by the IRS and acts as your business’s federal tax ID. You need an EIN to open a US business bank account, hire employees, file taxes, and work with most payment processors.

EIN for US Residents

If you hold a Social Security Number, we can typically obtain your EIN within one to two business days using the standard IRS online application process.

EIN for Non-US Residents

Non-US residents without an SSN or ITIN can still obtain an EIN. We prepare and submit the correct IRS form (SS-4) through the appropriate fax or mail channel used for foreign applicants, and follow up with the IRS on your behalf.

What’s Included

• Preparation of IRS Form SS-4
• Submission through the correct IRS channel for your residency status
• Status tracking and follow-up with the IRS
• Digital delivery of your official EIN confirmation letter (CP 575)

ITIN Assistance

If your situation requires an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), our team can guide you through the application requirements and documentation needed to obtain one. Our in-house IRS Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) can also verify your identification documents directly, so in many cases you avoid mailing original documents to the IRS.
