How to get an EIN?
If you’re starting a business in the United States, you must have an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Employer Identification Number/EIN is a nine-digit number that is assigned to your business by the IRS. It is used to identify your business for tax purposes.
To obtain an EIN, you will need to complete and submit an IRS Form SS-4. This form can be obtained from the IRS website or by calling the IRS at 1-800-829-4933. Once you have completed the form, you will need to submit it to the IRS either by mail or fax.
Once your EIN has been assigned, you can use it to open a bank account for your business, file your business taxes, and apply for licenses and permits, etc.
