The USA EIN (Employer Identification Number) is a unique nine-digit tax ID issued by the IRS to identify businesses for tax purposes. It is essential for starting a business, hiring employees, opening business bank accounts, and filing taxes. Secure your EIN through a simple application process online or by mail.
Also known as a “Tax ID number,” the EIN is a business federal tax ID that works like a Social Security Number for your business. Your EIN helps you file tax returns for your business, is typically required to open a business bank account under the name of your business, helps you properly pay and account for wages and payroll for your company’s employees, and otherwise helps establish credit for your business and maintain your business’s official standing as a legal business entity.
Your EIN is necessary for several situations in running your business. You will need to use your EIN for certain tax forms, such as filing your tax returns for your business, and filling out W9 forms for clients (if you run a service business), and other forms related to managing payroll for your employees. Your EIN is also necessary to set up a business bank account and apply for business loans. The same types of reasons for needing a Social Security Number in your personal life are also the reasons to use an EIN in managing your business.
