What Is An EIN?
An Employer Identification Number (EIN), also known as a Federal Employment Identification Number (FEIN), is a unique nine-digit tax ID assigned by the IRS to businesses. Much like a Social Security number for individuals, an EIN allows businesses to open bank accounts, apply for loans and licenses, meet tax requirements, and safeguard the business owner’s identity.

An EIN simplifies the process of filing federal and state taxes, reducing the risk of late fees and penalties for your business.
Helps Protect Your Identity
Using an EIN for business transactions helps protect your Social Security Number (SSN) from exposure, lowering the risk of identity theft.
