EIN: What Should I Know?

What is an EIN?

An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is a federal tax ID issued by the IRS. It’s used to identify your business for taxes, banking, payroll, and official filings. Think of it as your business’s Social Security number—essential for operating legitimately.

Do I need an EIN for my business?

Most businesses do. You typically need an EIN if you plan to open a business bank account, hire employees, apply for licenses, file certain tax forms, or operate as an LLC or corporation. Even sole proprietors often get an EIN to separate personal and business finances and appear more professional.

Can I get an EIN on my own?

Yes, however the process can be confusing and easy to get wrong. The IRS application requires precise legal details, and mistakes can lead to delays or issues later when opening bank accounts or filing taxes. Many business owners choose a professional service to avoid errors and save time.
