What is an EIN number and why do I need it?

The Employer Identification Number, also known as the Federal Employer Identification Number or the "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 for the purposes of identification.

I don't know or can't remember my EIN?

Your EIN or FEIN can be found on the paperwork you filed with the IRS to legally form your business. If you did not file with the IRS, you are likely a sole proprietor or independent contractor and you likely don’t have an EIN.
