Hi everyone, I am in the process of starting a small company.. was hoping you guys might know where to send this tax form. Also, what would be the estimated date when I hear back? SHould I mail it? Fax it? Where, what number? Both? Also, how long before I get the EIN? What I've done so far, I've already registered with the state as an LLC.. just need to work on the articles of organization and get the EIN ASAP so I can open a bank account. Thanks everyone!
I don't have the number but you can call them once you have the ss4 filled out and read off all of the info to them and they will give you the ein over the phone, just make sure that the form is completely filled out before you call. Then they will give you a fax number that you have to send it to within 24 hrs or they will cancel the number. It is a very simple procedure. Do a search on the irs site for the number.
You don't even have to fax the form in anymore....They will send you a notice in the mail in a few weeks, but you can use your number immediately.
awesome, I just got an EIN! Woohoo! The guy put me on hold for about 5 minutes though doing some type of background check.. I wonder what type of check he was doing?? I also didn't need to fax it in.. so it was good.
