Description

An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is a federal identification number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States. This number is used by businesses to report taxes, hire employees, open business bank accounts, and comply with other tax and legal obligations. It’s similar to a Social Security number, but for businesses. Anyone wishing to obtain an EIN must have an SSN or ITIN, as the government will request this information when obtaining one.
