Employer Identification Number (EIN)
Last updated Sunday, April 7, 2024
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is also known as a Federal
Tax Identification Number, and is used to identify a business entity.
Generally, businesses need an EIN. Nevada Registered Agent Service™
offers a fast and convenient EIN procurement service to obtain your Employer
Identification Number immediately.
Do You Need a Federal EIN
for Your Business Entity?
In general, unless your
business is a sole proprietorship with no employees and no separate legal
entity for your business, you need to get an EIN. Sometimes if you own an LLC
and it is a single-member LLC with simple accounting, you can get by just using
your personal Social Security Number for tax purposes and for receiving
payments from clients. But even the simplest businesses can generally benefit
from using an EIN – the EIN serves as a tax ID for your LLC or other corporate
entity.
The following business
entities should get an EIN:
·
Partnerships: an
EIN is required for all general partnerships and limited partnerships.
·
Multiple-member
LLCs: This type of business entity needs an EIN regardless of whether you have
employees.
·
Single-member
LLCs: If you plan to hire employees within the next 12 months, you will need to
get an EIN. And even if your single-member LLC has no employees, and even if
you can get by with using your own individual Social Security Number for tax
purposes, it’s still a good idea to get an EIN because many banks and lenders
will prefer to use an EIN to do business with you.
·
LLC taxed as a
Corporation: If your LLC chooses to be taxed as a Corporation (for example, by
electing to be treated as an S-Corporation for tax purposes), you will need to
get an EIN.
·
Sole
proprietorship with employees: Even if you do not have an LLC or any other
legal entity for your business and you run a simple sole proprietorship, you
still need to get an EIN if you have employees or plan to hire employees in the
next 12 months.
The SS4 is the IRS form required
to obtain an EIN (Employer Identification Number, frequently called a Tax ID
number). The EIN/Tax ID number can be thought of as a Social Security Number
for your business. It is usually required to open a bank account in the name of
the business and to properly pay and account for any wage/payroll employees of
your company. Nevada Registered Agent Service™ can obtain your federal EIN
electronically and have it back to you via email within one hour. EIN numbers
are assigned by the IRS and can only be obtained Monday-Friday, 7am to 10pm
Eastern Standard Time.
Your EIN
helps you file tax returns for your business, is typically required to open a business
bank account under the name of your business, helps you properly pay and
account for wages and payroll for your company’s employees, and otherwise helps
establish credit for your business and maintain your business’s official
standing as a legal business entity. The EIN is your permanent number and can
be used immediately for most of your business needs, including:
·
Opening a bank
account in the name of the business
·
Applying for
business licenses
·
Paying and
accounting for any wage/payroll employees
·
Filling out W9
forms for clients (if you run a service business)
·
Applying for
business loans
·
Filing a tax
return by mail
However, it
will take up to two weeks before your EIN becomes part of the IRS's permanent
records. You must wait until this occurs before you can:
·
File an
electronic return
·
Make an
electronic payment
·
Pass an IRS
Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) matching program.
EIN numbers are assigned by the IRS and can only be obtained
Monday-Friday, 7am to 10pm Eastern Standard Time. If your business
needs a EIN number, please refer to our EIN procurement form and follow the instructions on the
form
