Get your EIN (it's free)

An EIN is your business's tax ID — you'll need it to open a bank account and hire. The IRS issues it free in about 10 minutes online. Never pay a third party for this.

  • Apply directly at irs.gov (weekdays, US hours).
  • Save the confirmation letter (CP 575) somewhere safe — banks ask for it.
