An EIN Number is a 9-digit number provided to businesses by the IRS. You can think of it like your business’s “Social Security Number”.
An EIN is used for tax purposes and you’ll need one to open an LLC business bank account. You’ll also use an EIN if you have employees or apply for business credit cards or loans.
You can get your EIN from the IRS website, or you can hire Northwest Registered Agent to get your EIN for you.
Note: An EIN is also known as a Federal Tax ID Number. They mean the same thing.
