If you are a bit more restricted budget-wise, then this minor convenience isn’t worth it, and you can simply get your EIN online directly from the IRS for no charge. For those of you looking to form an LLC, an EIN is the least difficult step in the whole process.
The truth is, getting an EIN either through a service or from the government personally is up to your own preference. Some enjoy the simple convenience of having their EIN confirmation being in the same place as their LLC formation paperwork, and because of that, it is worth the extra charge.
