What is an EIN (Employer Identification Number)?
An Employer Identification Number (EIN), also known as a Federal Tax Identification Number, is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to identify your business for tax purposes. Think of it as your business's Social Security Number.
The EIN format is XX-XXXXXXX (e.g., 12-3456789) and is used by the IRS to track your business's tax obligations, filings, and payments. Every business that has employees, operates as a partnership, LLC, or corporation, or meets certain other criteria must have an EIN.
