Who needs an EIN

If you want a US business identity, you need this number

An EIN is your company's federal tax ID — a nine-digit number the IRS issues to identify your business. Almost every serious step beyond forming the entity depends on it.

Most common reason

Open a US business bank account

No US bank or fintech will open a true business account without an EIN. It's the first thing Mercury, Wise, Chase and every reviewer ask for — alongside your formation docs.

Get approved on Stripe & PayPal

Payment processors verify your business against IRS records. The EIN on your CP-575 is what clears their review and keeps payouts flowing.

Accept payments worldwide

Hiring employees

Required to run US payroll and report wages to the IRS.

Filing federal taxes

Your entity's identifier on every return and 1099.

Selling on marketplaces

Amazon, Shopify Payments and wholesale vendors all ask for it.

Every entity type qualifies

Single-member LLC, multi-member LLC, C-corp or sole proprietorship — formed in any state, owned from anywhere in the world. We handle the filing details for each.

The no-SSN route

How we get an EIN with no Social Security number

Non-residents can't use the IRS online form — but there's a correct, fully legitimate path most founders never find. Here's exactly how we do it for you.

  1. Part IDay 1
    01

    We become your designee

    You sign a simple third-party authorization. From that moment the IRS treats us as the contact for your application — so no US phone number, address or SSN is ever needed from you.

  2. Part IIDays 1–2
    02

    Responsible party, done right

    For foreign applicants, line 7b is where DIY filings fail. We enter 'Foreign' correctly and answer the responsible-party questions the way the IRS requires — the single most common rejection, avoided.

  3. Part IIIDays 2–5
    03

    Filed by fax, not blocked online

    The IRS online tool rejects anyone without an SSN. We use the dedicated international fax channel built for foreign applicants, the only reliable route to an EIN without a US tax ID.

  4. Part IVWeeks 1–4
    04

    We track it to issuance

    International cases sit in a manual queue. We follow up with the IRS so your application keeps moving — then deliver your EIN and CP-575 the moment it's assigned.
