EIN Fetch

What is EIN
EIN stands for Employer Identification Number. It is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to businesses, non-profits, and other entities for tax identification purposes in the United States.
An EIN is similar to a social security number for individuals. It is used by the IRS to identify businesses and organizations for tax reporting and filing requirements. The EIN is required for various activities, including opening a business bank account, hiring employees, filing tax returns, and conducting certain financial transactions.
To obtain an EIN, you need to apply with the IRS either online, by mail, or by fax. The application process is free, and you can obtain an EIN immediately when applying online. The IRS issues EINs to eligible entities, and once assigned, the number is unique to that specific organization and should be used for all tax-related purposes.
It's important to note that an EIN is specific to the United States, and other countries may have different systems for tax identification numbers.
