(EIN) Employer Identification Numbers
https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/employer-id-numbers
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is also known as a Federal Tax Identification Number, and is used to identify a business entity. Generally, businesses need an EIN. You may apply for an EIN in various ways, and now you may apply online. This is a free service offered by the Internal Revenue Service and you can get your EIN immediately. You must check with your state to make sure you need a state number or charter.

Check out our Interview-style online EIN application. No need to file a Form SS-4! We ask you the questions and you give us the answers. The application includes embedded help topics and hyperlinked keywords and definitions so separate instructions aren’t needed. After all validations are done you will get your EIN immediately upon completion. You can then download, save, and print your confirmation notice. It’s fast, free, and user-friendly!
All EIN applications (mail, fax, electronic) must disclose the name and Taxpayer Identification Number (SSN, ITIN, or EIN) of the true principal officer, general partner, grantor, owner or trustor. This individual or entity, which the IRS will call the “responsible party,” controls, manages, or directs the applicant entity and the disposition of its funds and assets. Unless the applicant is a government entity, the responsible party must be an individual (i.e., a natural person), not an entity.
Filing for Tax Exempt Status?
It’s best to be sure your organization is formed legally before you apply for an EIN. Nearly all organizations are subject to automatic revocation of their tax-exempt status if they fail to file a required return or notice for three consecutive years. When you apply for an EIN, we presume you’re legally formed and the clock starts running on this three-year period.
Change of Ownership or Structure
Generally, businesses need a new EIN when their ownership or structure has changed. Refer to “Do You Need a New EIN?” to determine if this applies to your business.
Verify Your EIN
If you want to verify your EIN, see the Lost or Misplaced Your EIN page for instructions.
Daily Limitation of an Employer Identification Number
Effective May 21, 2012, to ensure fair and equitable treatment for all taxpayers, the Internal Revenue Service will limit Employer Identification Number (EIN) issuance to one per responsible party per day. This limitation is applicable to all requests for EINs whether online or by fax or mail. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Separate Business Bank Account
Why Do I Need A Separate Business Bank Account
You should always present to your clients and prospects a professional image. Therefore, having a separate bank account for your business is important. Let’s take a look at some additional reasons.
- The U.S. Internal Revenue Code requires all Corporations to have a separate bank account. Even though the IRS does not require Limited Liability Companies (LLC) to have one, it is a very good idea.
- The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is very insistent about you being able to show them that your business is a real business and not a hobby business. In order to show this, you should have a separate bank account for your business, business cards, well-kept accounting records, and an up to date Corporate Minute Book.
- You must keep your business and personal purchasing and spending separate to make it cleaner and easier for you and your tax preparer at the end of the year.
- You must to keep all your expenditure receipts and be able account for all your deposits.
Corporate or LLC Minute Book
Every business entity needs a Corporate Minute Book. It can be formal or informal. Even though you can use a binder from Walmart and make a book up yourself using the Minute Book Samples below, we suggest you buy one from CorpKits. It is much more professional. For more information go to:

Business Identity Theft
What Is Business Identity Theft?
Identity thieves don’t just target people – they prey on businesses, too. Their schemes vary widely, from the unimaginably complex to the absurdly simple. But in every case, their effects can be devastating to the business involved and its personnel.
Business identity theft is when criminals hijack a business’s name to plunder its assets, credit and/or reputation. The crime comes in a variety of forms, from scammers merely impersonating a business to fraudsters filing fraudulent paperwork to take over a company. However it’s done, the goal is always the same: To exploit the business for the criminal’s financial gain. That can mean purchasing luxury cars or dozens of cell phones on company credit and selling them for a quick profit. It can mean seizing company assets, like a piece of property stashed in a holding company, and transferring it to another business entity, where it’s sold to an unsuspecting third party. Or it can be masquerading as your business to exploit your good reputation and defrauding your current or potential customers. Click here for more information.
Lurking In The Shadows Report
Business identity theft is woefully under publicized in America today – even by major civic and private-sector institutions that are intimately aware of its seriousness.
This study by Company Alarm, the nationwide leader in business identity theft protection, sought to document both how much government agencies and private business and organizations know about business identity theft and how much they’re educating the public about it. Our findings show what Company Alarm has long suspected: that business identity theft is simply not a priority for leaders in government and business. Click here for the entire report.
