Apply for an EIN Number Via Fax

What is an Employer Identification Number (EIN)?

As defined by the IRS, an Employer Identification Number (EIN), also known as a Federal Tax Identification Number, is used to identity a business entity. This identification is required if a business is operating with employees and plans to pay tax within the United States. You’ll need to apply for your EIN number early enough to ensure you have it before the tax return deadline.

How do I Apply for an EIN?

After ensuring that the Form SS-4 contains all required information, it’s time to apply for your EIN by faxing your completed Form SS-4 to the IRS. Here’s how.
