You're a life saver! Nearly, anyway. I was thinking they were free because I got an EIN years ago and didn't recall paying but then I was on an IRS-looking site today that wanted to charge me $279 and I almost fell for it. I thought either I wasn't remembering correctly or they had decided to start changing for it in the last few years. Glad I waited!

[@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA]

Hello Rehan, as a non-US resident, you are not eligible to acquire an SSN. However, if you already have an LLC, you can obtain an EIN without an SSN by filling out Form SS-4 and submitting it to the IRS via mail or fax. Please note the following requirements when applying for an EIN without an SSN: - You need to have a physical mailing address in the United States. - You must possess a valid email address. - You must be able to provide proof of your identity and taxpayer identification number. If you have any inquiries regarding the process of obtaining an EIN without an SSN, you may contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.

What happens if at the end of my LLC name I didn’t include LLC when applying for an ein because I was confused. How do I correct it?

[@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA]

Hi Chikasnsaxion, If you did not include "LLC" at the end of your LLC name when applying for an EIN, you will need to correct it by filing Form SS-4 with the IRS. You can do this online, by mail, or by fax. On Form SS-4, you must enter the correct name of your LLC, including the "LLC" suffix. You will also need to enter the EIN that was assigned to you when you originally applied. Once you have completed Form SS-4, you will need to mail it to the IRS at the following address: Internal Revenue Service Attn: Entity and Intermediary Operations Cincinnati, OH 45999 You can also fax Form SS-4 to the IRS at [phone]. Once the IRS has received and processed your Form SS-4, they will send you a new EIN confirmation notice that reflects the correct name of your LLC.

Go to the IRS website and create an account. Once you have created an account, log in and select "EIN." Click on "Change my EIN." Provide your EIN number and the correct surname. The IRS will make the change to your EIN number and provide you with a confirmation number. By phone: Call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. When prompted, select option 2 for "Businesses, organizations, and self-employed individuals." When prompted, select option 4 for "EIN." When prompted, select option 3 for "Change my EIN." Provide the IRS representative with your EIN number and the correct surname. By mail: Download and complete Form SS-5. Mail the completed form to the IRS address listed on the form. Be sure to include your EIN number and the correct surname on the form. The IRS will process your request and make the change to your EIN number. Please note that it may take up to 4 weeks for the IRS to process your request to change your EIN number surname.

I’m a little confused about the step number 4. You said not to put "llc" in the (legal name of llc) but it says on website it has to match article of organization?? My article of organization shows the word "llc" in the official name of my entity

[@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA]

Hello Abdellahi, Yes, I agree, it is confusing. Your LEGAL name SHOULD contain 'llc' but NOT Corp, Inc, PA. The TRADE name may NOT contain an ending such as LLC, LC, PLLC, Corp or inc. If you are applying for an EIN (Employer Identification Number) for a Limited Liability Company (LLC), you can use the letters "LLC" in the legal name section of your application. This is because the legal name of your LLC typically includes the abbreviation "LLC" at the end. However, it is important to note that the legal name of your LLC should match the name that you have registered with your state's Secretary of State or other authorized agency. So if your LLC is registered as "ABC Company, LLC," then that should be the legal name that you use on your EIN application. ***It is also worth noting that if you choose to operate under a different name than your LLC's legal name, you may need to register a DBA (Doing Business As) or fictitious name with your state or local government. In that case, you would use the DBA name as your "trade name" on your EIN application, but your legal name would still be your LLC's name with "LLC" at the end.

Before I head to the County Clerk office in the morning. Can I apply for an EIN before filing out a DBA? I've made sure it's not taken .

[@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA]

Hello Zander, I found your comment in the "Held" section. Sorry for the late response. You probably have it already. Yes, you can apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) before filing for a Doing Business As (DBA) registration. In fact, applying for an EIN is a separate process from registering a DBA. While applying for an EIN does not require a DBA registration, some states may require you to have an EIN before registering for a DBA. It is best to check with your state or local government office to determine the requirements for your specific situation.

[@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA]

[9:53am PST] @SaintOres.com Hello Herbert, Thanks for the nice comment. As for your question... No, you don't necessarily have to have a registered LLC before applying for an Employer Identification Number (EIN). In fact, you can apply for an EIN as soon as you have determined that you need one for your business, even if you haven't formed your LLC yet. When you apply for an EIN, you will be asked to provide information about your business, such as its legal name, physical address, and the type of business entity you plan to operate. If you haven't formed your LLC yet, you can still provide this information based on your intended business structure. However, keep in mind that in order to apply for an EIN, you must have a valid taxpayer identification number (such as a Social Security number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) for the person who is responsible for the business. This person may be the owner, partner, or an authorized officer of the business.

[@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA]

[3:37pm PST] @TaxesbyKatie.com Hey Rafael, As a general rule, more than one member LLC is considered a partnership. The IRS has ruled that a partner, whether they hold only capital or profit interests, is a partner and is excluded from being a W-2 wage employee. So, if you keep that in mind, members are not counted as employees.

Hello Tailor To apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for your non-resident LLC without an SSN or ITIN, follow these steps: 1. Download and complete Form SS-4 from the IRS website. 2. Indicate "No" for the question about having an SSN or ITIN on the form. 3. Submit the completed form by mail or fax to the IRS. Processing times for mailed or faxed applications can take several weeks.

Will it make a difference if I answer "yes" to future employees?

[@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA]

[2:06pm PST] @SaintOres.com Hello Genevieve, it is important to note that answering "yes" to future employees on your EIN application will have an impact. In this scenario, the IRS will require you to have a plan in place for handling payroll taxes for future employees. However, if you choose to answer "no", the IRS will not expect you to have such a plan. It is important to keep in mind that even if you answer "no", you may still hire future employees at some point in time. In such a scenario, you must update your EIN application and start paying payroll taxes accordingly.

can a non US resident having LLC apply with the same method or through fax would be better?

[@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA]

Hello E-layne, Yes, a non-US resident who has an LLC can apply for an EIN (Employer Identification Number) using the same method as US residents. The easiest way to apply for an EIN is online through the IRS website, regardless of your location. However, if you prefer to apply via fax, you can download Form SS-4 from the IRS website, complete it and fax it to the appropriate IRS fax number. Keep in mind that it may take longer to receive your EIN if you apply via fax.

[@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA]

Hello e-Layne, Yes, a non-US resident without a Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) can apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for their LLC. However, you will need to apply by mail or fax, as they cannot apply online without an SSN or ITIN. To apply for an EIN by mail, you will need to print out and complete Form SS-4. You can find Form SS-4 on the IRS website. Once you have completed Form SS-4, you will need to mail it to the Internal Revenue Service, Cincinnati, OH 45999

[@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA]

Hello again E-layne, Thanks for letting me know you're in Pakistan.. So, with an online application, an EIN is issued immediately. BUT, the online application process is only available for entities whose principal business, office or agency, or legal residence (in the case of an individual), is located in the US or U.S. Territories. Per IRS guidelines, International applicants MUST call 267-941-1099 or fax a completed Form SS-4 to the service center for the specific state, and they will respond with a return fax in about one week. I hope this helps.
