Why it matters for your business.
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a nine-digit federal tax ID issued by the IRS — the business equivalent of a Social Security Number. If you're forming a US company, you'll need one to open a bank account, hire employees, and file federal taxes, even if you're not a US resident.
You need an EIN application if you're...
- A non-US resident forming a US LLC or Corporation
- A US-based founder starting a new business
- A company that needs to open a US bank account
- A business getting ready to hire employees or file federal taxes
Why You Need an EIN.
Most US banks and fintechs require an EIN before they'll open a business account for your company.
An EIN is how the IRS identifies your business for payroll, so it's required before you can legally hire.
Your EIN is your company's federal tax ID — you'll need it to file returns and pay federal taxes.
Foreign founders without a Social Security Number or ITIN can still apply through FastLLC — one of the main reasons founders outside the US choose us.
Whether you're forming a new business or already have one, getting your EIN is your first step to operating legally in the US.
