SS-4 Application for Employer Identification Number (EIN): Use this form to obtain an Employer ID number from the IRS. Apply for a federal ID number on-line or open a printable version of the form here.

Sole proprietors should apply for the number before they hire employees. If a sole proprietor never hires employees, the proprietorship is not required to obtain an EIN.

All other entity types must obtain an EIN to use on the entity’s tax return, W-2s, 1099s, etc…. The SS-4 should be filed as soon as the entity has been formed. First, complete and sign the form. Then, you can mail it to the IRS or call a toll free number and have your EIN assigned over the phone.
