Q.How do I get a Federal Tax Tax Identification Number (EIN)?
A.Most banks require corporations and limited liability companies to obtain a Federal Employer Tax Identification Number ("EIN Number") as a prerequisite to opening a bank account regardless of whether the company will have employees. The EIN Number is to a corporation, what a Social Security Number is to an individual.
To apply for an EIN Number by telephone, you will need to: (1) complete I.R.S. Form SS-4, (2) call the IRS (see numbers below)and relay the information on the Form to the I.R.S. operator, (3) write down the EIN Number given to you by the IRS, and then (4) fax or mail the completed SS-4 form back to the I.R.S.
