How to Obtain a Copy of an EIN Number
- 1). Visit your local bank branch where you keep your business accounts. Your commercial bank required a valid EIN to open these accounts. Provide identification such as your business check card, your driver's license, and your social security number. You may also be asked to provide your business address and phone number.
- 2). Phone your accountant and ask to be sent a copy of your EIN. When you file your quarterly estimated corporate taxes, your accountant needs to file the returns under your EIN. As an alternative, look at a copy of your latest tax return.
- 3). Phone the Internal Revenue Service at its toll-free helpline. Give the representative your full name, the name of your business, its address and phone number, and your social security number. Ask that a copy of your EIN be mailed or faxed to your place of business.
