The Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a nine-digit number assigned by the IRS. The IRS uses the number to identify taxpayers who are required to file various business tax returns. And to identify the tax accounts of employers and certain others who have no employees.
The EIN, is commonly known as a Tax ID number, it’s obtain by filing form SS-4 with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). All businesses are required by federal law to have an EIN.
In tax law, a business is considered a legal person. So having an EIN is required to separate you the individual from the business.
Most bank will not open a business account without EIN. You’ll also need it when applying for business credit, paying employment wages or doing business with other businesses, preparing and filing quarterly or annual tax business tax returns, or for filling out W9 forms for clients if you’re running a service provider business.
A Single-member LLC with minimal accounting needs, won’t necessarily need to file for an EIN, you could just use your personal Social Security Number for tax purposes and for receiving payments from clients. But generally speaking, if your business is a sole proprietorship with no employees and not a separate legal entity, you won’t need an EIN.
