EIN Requirements

Why you need an EIN

🏦

Open a Business Bank Account

Banks require an EIN to open a business checking or savings account — you cannot use a personal SSN for a business account.

👥

Hire Employees

Any business with employees must have an EIN for payroll tax reporting, W-2 issuance, and employment tax filings.

📋

File Business Taxes

Your EIN appears on all business tax returns — 1065, 1120, 1120-S, and others depending on your entity type.

🔒

Protect Your SSN

Using an EIN instead of your Social Security Number on business documents protects you from identity theft risks.

💳

Apply for Business Credit

Business credit cards, loans, and lines of credit require an EIN to separate business and personal credit histories.

📃

W-9 and Contracts

Contractors and clients you work with will request your EIN on W-9 forms for their own tax reporting to the IRS.

What is an EIN?▾

An Employer Identification Number (EIN), also called a Federal Tax Identification Number, is a 9-digit number assigned by the IRS. It identifies your business for tax purposes — similar to how a Social Security Number identifies an individual.

Does every business need an EIN?▾

LLCs with employees, multi-member LLCs, and all corporations are required to have an EIN. Single-member LLCs with no employees can technically use the owner's SSN, but an EIN is strongly recommended for privacy and banking purposes.

How long does it take to get an EIN?▾

Corplys typically obtains and delivers your EIN within 1–3 business days. In some cases, the IRS issues EINs immediately for online applications.

Is an EIN the same as a state tax ID?▾

No. An EIN is a federal identification number from the IRS. Many states also require a separate state tax ID for sales tax, payroll tax, or other state filings. Corplys can advise you on state-specific requirements.

Can a foreign national get an EIN?▾

Yes. Non-US citizens can obtain an EIN for their US business, though the process is slightly different. Corplys handles both domestic and international EIN applications.

Do I need a new EIN if I change my business name?▾

Generally no — a name change does not require a new EIN. However, converting your business type or changing ownership structure typically does require a new EIN.
