EIN application

An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is what the IRS uses to identify your company — you need it to open a US bank account, file taxes, or get paid through most US payment processors. If you're a US citizen or resident with a Social Security Number, the application is straightforward and we handle it for $99.

If you're a foreign owner with no SSN or ITIN, the IRS process is different — there's no online application, and the paperwork has to be filed correctly the first time or you'll wait weeks for a rejection letter. We prepare and file it for you for $299, using the same method we've used for hundreds of foreign-owned LLCs and corporations.

Turnaround depends on the IRS, not us — expect a few business days if you already have a formed company, longer if the EIN is part of a new formation. If you're forming a company with us at the same time, the EIN is already included in our Complete formation package ($499).

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I get an EIN without an SSN or ITIN?

Yes. A foreign responsible party may apply without an SSN or ITIN, but the filing route differs from the online application available to eligible US applicants.

Is an IRS fee included?

The IRS does not charge an EIN issuance fee. The listed price is ABS's preparation and filing service fee.

How long will it take?

Timing depends on the IRS and the filing route. We confirm the available method after reviewing the company and responsible-party details, but do not promise an issuance date.
