What is an EIN?

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 business entities operating in the United States. Think of it as a Social Security Number for your business—it's used to identify your business entity for tax purposes and is required for most business operations in the U.S.

Why Your Business Needs an EIN

An EIN is essential for various business activities in the United States, including:

  • Filing business tax returns
  • Opening business bank accounts
  • Applying for business licenses
  • Hiring employees and processing payroll
  • Establishing business credit
  • Applying for business loans
  • Working with vendors and contractors

Even if you're a sole proprietor without employees, having an EIN can help separate your personal and business finances and protect your Social Security Number from unnecessary exposure.

Who Needs an EIN?

You'll need an EIN if you:

  • Have employees or plan to hire employees in the future
  • Operate as a corporation or partnership in the U.S.
  • File tax returns for employment, excise, or alcohol, tobacco, and firearms
  • Withhold taxes on income, other than wages, paid to a non-resident alien
