Get Your EIN Fast, No IRS Headaches

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is your business's federal tax ID — required to open a bank account, hire employees, and file taxes. We prepare and submit your application directly with the IRS, so you get your number quickly and correctly, whether you're based in the US or applying from abroad.

A Fast, Accurate Path to Your EIN

An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is a nine-digit federal tax ID issued by the IRS to identify your business. It's required to open a US business bank account, file federal and state taxes, hire employees, and apply for business licenses or credit.

CoFilings® manages the entire application process — preparing your Form SS-4, verifying your business details, and submitting directly to the IRS. For non-US residents without an SSN or ITIN, we handle the alternative application process so you're not stuck waiting on hold with the IRS yourself.

Most EINs are issued within days, and we deliver your official confirmation letter as soon as it's approved so you can move straight to banking and operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an EIN and do I need one?
An EIN is a federal tax ID issued by the IRS to identify your business. Most LLCs and corporations need one to open a bank account, file taxes, or hire employees, even with no staff.
Can I get an EIN without an SSN or ITIN?
Yes. Non-US residents can apply for an EIN without a Social Security Number or ITIN through an alternative IRS application process, which we handle on your behalf.
How long does it take to get an EIN?
US-based applicants with an SSN can often receive an EIN within a day. Non-resident applications submitted by fax or mail typically take longer, usually a few business days to a few weeks depending on IRS processing.
