Every business entity is assigned a unique nine-digit employer identification number i.e. EIN for tax filing purposes with the IRS, also called as Federal Tax Identification Number.

An individual can get an EIN for the business entity or an organization in these ways– ● One can get an EIN for the business entity, by filing an online application Form SS-4 from the IRS official website i.e. www.irs.gov. This is one of the easiest and fastest ways to get an EIN. One needs to fill this application form with all the details related to the business entity between hours of operation i.e. 07:00 AM to 10:00 PM (Eastern Time) from Monday to Friday.
