Federal Tax Identification Number

Federal Tax ID Number

Whether you’re forming a Washington LLC or starting a Washington corporation, you’ll need a federal tax identification number—called a federal Employer Identification Number (EIN, or FEIN)—to handle a variety of business tasks. For example:

• If you’re going to charge sales tax in Washington State, you’ll need an EIN.
• If you’re going to open a business bank account in Washington State, an EIN maintains separation between you and your business and may be a bank requirement.
• When filing for a master business license application, it’s best to get an EIN so you don’t have to provide your personal social security number. 

You can obtain an EIN for free from the IRS, but if you don’t want the hassle, hire us to file for you. We provide Tax ID services to our clients regardless of their location, and we can even help you obtain one if you don’t have a personal SSN.
