Why Amazon Sellers Need an EIN
Tax Compliance
Amazon reports your sales to the IRS. An EIN separates your business income from personal taxes and is required for filing business tax returns.
Business Bank Account
Open a dedicated business bank account to receive Amazon payouts, track expenses, and separate personal and business finances.
Protect Your SSN
Use your EIN instead of SSN on W-9 forms and business documents. Reduces identity theft risk and looks more professional.
Wholesale Accounts
Many wholesale suppliers and distributors require an EIN to open an account and get resale pricing for your Amazon inventory.
Business Credit
Build business credit separate from personal credit. Access business credit cards, loans, and lines of credit for inventory.
Multi-Channel Selling
Expand to Walmart, eBay, Shopify and other platforms. Most marketplaces require or prefer sellers with an EIN.

Amazon Seller EIN FAQ
Do I need an EIN to sell on Amazon?
For US sellers, you can use your SSN, but an EIN is recommended for protection and professionalism. For international sellers without an SSN, an EIN (or ITIN) is required to complete Amazon's tax interview.
Can international sellers get a US EIN for Amazon?
Yes! International sellers can get a US EIN without an SSN or ITIN. We handle the IRS phone application process required for foreign applicants.
Do I need an LLC to get an EIN?
No. Sole proprietors can get an EIN. However, forming an LLC provides liability protection and looks more professional. Many serious Amazon sellers form a Wyoming or Delaware LLC.
How do I add my EIN to Amazon Seller Central?
Go to Settings → Account Info → Tax Information → Tax Interview. Select "Business" and enter your EIN when prompted. Amazon will verify it with the IRS.
Can I use the same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts?
One EIN per business entity. If you have one business selling on multiple marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, Walmart), use the same EIN. Amazon prohibits multiple seller accounts per person/entity.
