Federal Tax ID

Get your EIN, filed with the IRS for you.

Same day · for US residents with an SSN

  • Filed directly with the IRS — we handle Form SS-4 for you.
  • Works without an SSN: we file by fax or mail for non-resident founders.
  • Delivered straight to your document vault, ready for the bank.

LLC formation

LLC formation is our main service

Everything else we file — your EIN, registered agent, BOI report, annual reports — is an optional add-on you pick during checkout, never pre-selected. Each one can also be filed directly with the government yourself, for the government's fee alone.

Straight talk

Who needs an EIN — and who doesn't

We'd rather you skip something you don't need than pay for it. Here's the honest version.

You probably need one if…

  • You're opening a business bank account (almost every bank asks).
  • Your LLC has more than one member.
  • You plan to hire employees or contractors.
  • You're a non-resident founder without an SSN.

You can probably skip it if…

  • You're a single-member LLC with no employees and your bank accepts your SSN.
  • You already have an EIN from a prior business that still applies.
  • You're comfortable filing Form SS-4 with the IRS yourself, for free.

  • An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is a federal Tax ID issued by the IRS. It's like a Social Security number for your business — you use it to open a bank account, hire employees, and file taxes.

  • If your LLC has more than one member, hires employees, or you want a business bank account (almost everyone does), yes. A single-member LLC with no employees can sometimes use the owner's SSN, but most banks still ask for an EIN.

  • Yes — you can apply directly with the IRS at no cost. Our fee is for preparing the application correctly, handling the parts that trip people up (especially for non-residents without an SSN), and getting it back to you fast in your vault.

  • For US residents with an SSN, often the same business day. For non-residents without an SSN, the IRS processes by fax or mail and it typically takes 1–4 weeks — we handle the paperwork and keep you posted.
