What Is an Employer Identification Number?
An Employer Identification Number (EIN), also known as a Federal Tax Identification Number or Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Think of it as your business's Social Security Number. It identifies your business entity for tax purposes and is required for:
- Filing federal and state tax returns
- Opening business bank accounts
- Hiring employees and filing payroll
- Applying for business licenses and permits
- Building business credit

Your EIN is permanent—it doesn't expire and stays with your business unless you make major structural changes (like converting from sole proprietorship to corporation).
