Instructions

Provide the legal name of the entity, the responsible party's name and SSN, the entity type, and the reason for applying. Indicate the expected number of employees and first date wages will be paid. Apply online at IRS.gov for immediate issuance, or submit by mail or fax. Each entity needs its own EIN. An EIN is free — do not pay third-party services.
