Get an EIN Number Online
Your EIN or Employer Identification Number is used by the IRS to identify you as a tax paying business entity, and many people think of an EIN as their business social security number. Another name you may hear used for an EIN is a Federal Tax Number, but they are one and the same.
Some small businesses use their own social security number, however, most small business advisors recommend that you apply for and use an EIN for all business documents. Furthermore, most banks will also require an EIN to open a bank account.
Generally, you need an EIN - employer identification number under the following circumstances:
- Your business is new
- You plan to open a bank account
- Your business entity is an LLC or Corporation
- You have, or will have, employees
