Get your federal tax ID. Fast for US owners, handled for foreign.
An Employer Identification Number is required to open business bank accounts, hire employees, file business tax returns, and complete most B2B contracts. For US owners with a Social Security Number, we obtain the EIN from the IRS online with same-day delivery. For foreign owners without an SSN, we prepare and submit Form SS-4 by fax or mail with the typical 4-12 week IRS processing time.
How we obtain your EIN, end-to-end.
The IRS provides EINs directly with no fee. The complication is the application itself, which has gotchas around responsible party identification, business activity codes, and foreign-applicant filing channels. We handle the application correctly the first time.
Information gathering
We collect: entity legal name, formation date, formation state, mailing address, responsible party (an individual who controls or owns the entity), business activity type, expected employees, and accounting year.
IRS application
For US owners with SSN: online application through the IRS portal with instant approval. For foreign owners or applications requiring Form SS-4: prepared and submitted by fax (faster) or mail (slower).
EIN delivery
You receive the EIN confirmation letter (CP 575) within hours (online) or 4-12 weeks (paper or fax). We forward the digital PDF immediately and the original physical document when it arrives.
