An EIN number can be applied for and obtained directly from the IRS website. Prior to applying however, it is important to determine if you need an EIN and to gather all the required information to do so.
EINs are often required for most businesses, including corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies, and also can be utilized for certain types of trusts and estates. When filling out the application for an EIN, you will need additional information to apply, such as the responsible party’s name, social security number, what type of entity you are applying for and certain information about that entity.
Most times if you have all the necessary information when applying, you can obtain the EIN instantaneously or rather quickly.
