US Employer Identification Numbers

Local and foreign-owed companies doing businesses in the US need an Employer Identification Number (EIN), also known as a Federal Tax Identification Number. The EIN is the corporate equivalent of a social security number (SSN).

Your EIN is used to identify your business in the US and you need one if you meet any of the following criteria

• You employ staff
• You operate your business as a corporation or partnership
• You file employment, excise, or alcohol, tobacco and firearms tax returns
• You withhold taxes on income other than wages and paid to a non-resident alien
• You are involved with trusts, estates, real estate mortgage investment conduits, non-profit organisations, farmers' cooperatives, or plan administrators.
