What is a Federal EIN?

• A Federal Employer ID Number (EIN) is a 9-digit number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
• Your Federal EIN becomes your business taxpayer ID.
• The IRS assigns EINs to sole proprietors, LLCs, corporations, partnerships, non-profit associations, and other types of  businesses.

Why do I need an EIN?

• EINs should be included in business correspondence with the IRS and the Social Security Administration (SSA).
