An Employer Identification Number (EIN) aka "Corporate Federal Taxpayer ID Number" is a nine-digit number that the IRS assigns to
business entities. The IRS uses this number to identify taxpayers that
are required to file various business tax returns. EINs are used by
employers, LLCs, corporations, partnerships, non-profit
organizations, trusts and estates and other entities.
If your company is physically located within the United States, the IRS requires the Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) of a principal of the company for application purposes. If a subsidiary, the company may alternately provide the EIN of the parent company for the purposes of this application.
If your company is not physically located within the US, DBI can obtain an EIN for your company without a Social Security number.
US banks require an EIN to open a corporate bank account (even if you have no employees and even if your business is located outside the US).
