AN EIN is 100% FREE! DO NOT GET TRICKED INTO PAYING FOR ONE!! First, you can get an EIN on the IRS.gov website - YOU DO NOT NEED TO HIRE A LAWYER OR A COMPANY TO GET AN EIN FOR YOU! You can easily do it on your own! ONLY obtain your EIN through IRS.gov! If you see articles out there telling you anything other than the link to IRS.Gov, they are trying to sell you crap that you DO NOT NEED. I have provided the direct link to the IRS.gov EIN signup page above. The United States government is HAPPY to give you a FREE EIN because it means you'll pay them even more taxes! Here is how it works:

You fill out forms on IRS.gov. ***You MUST know your Social Security Number to apply for an EIN.***

After all validations are done you will get your EIN immediately upon completion. You can then download, save, and print your EIN confirmation notice.

WHAT EXACTLY IS AN EIN? Think of an EIN like a social security number for your business; people get social security numbers whereas businesses get EINs.

WHAT EXACTLY DO I DO WITH MY EIN? After getting your EIN you will use it to open your business bank account, apply for permits, file your business tax returns and more.
