Resources to Look Up a Tax ID and Verify EIN for A Business

The EIN for publicly traded companies can be found on the Investor Relations website. Almost every publicly traded company will possess a filings page.

On the filings page provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission, you can find the EIN number for a business by clicking the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) filing and reading the first page of the document.

It is also possible to use the EDGAR Online Forms and Filings database to search for an EIN. Searching the EDGAR database is completely free of charge, and can be used to find a business EIN that is not listed in the online SEC filings.

If you frequently need to search for business EINs, then you may want to sign up for a commercial database service. With a Commercial EIN database, you may have access to special offers that provide you with a certain number of free searches before you will need to pay a fee.

Several methods exist for looking up a business’s tax ID. Generally, the searcher will need to provide a few basic details, including the type of entity for which they are searching.

外國人和國稅局僱主身分號碼

不是個人的外國實體(亦即外國股份公司等)若因為稅務協定而需要聯邦僱主身分號碼(EIN)以便申請免除扣留所得稅(在W-8BEN表上申請),需要向國稅局提交SS-4表【僱主識別號碼申請表】(Form SS-4 Application for Employer Identification Number)才能申請該僱主身分號碼。若外國實體申報SS-4表以取得僱主身分號碼以便申請稅務協定豁免,但原本並不需要申報美國所得稅稅表、就業稅或工商稅稅表者,在申報SS-4表時應該遵守以下的特殊說明。申請人填寫SS-4表第7b行時,應在要求社會安全號碼或個人納稅識別號碼的空格中填寫「N/A」(不適用),除非申請人已有社會安全號碼或個人納稅識別號碼。回答SS-4表的第10題時,申請人應在「other」(其他)一格中打勾,並緊接填寫或打字以下一個最適當的詞語:

「For W-8BEN Purposes Only」(只用於W-8BEN目的)
「For Tax Treaty Purposes Only」(只用於稅務協定目的)
「Required under Reg. 1.1441-1(e)(4)(viii)」(法規1.1441-1(e)(4)(viii) 要求)
「897(i) Election」(第897(i) 節之選擇)

如果申請人因為不需要申報美國稅表SS-4表而無需填寫第11到17題,應在這些問題填寫「N/A」(不適用)。根據上述方式填寫SS-4表的外國實體應會在國稅局紀錄列為不需要申報任何美國稅表。然而,如果外國實體接到國稅局來信要求申報美國稅表,必須立即回信表示它不需要申報任何美國稅表。未能回覆國稅局的來信可能導致國稅局針對該外國實體進行程序性稅務評估。如果外國實體在日後需要申報美國稅表,不應申請新的僱主身分號碼,而是在以後的所有美國稅表上使用最初核發的僱主身分號碼。

為了加快向外國實體核發僱主身分號碼,請致電 267-941-1099。這不是免費電話。

Is Employee Identification Number (EIN) Needed?

In most cases, small businesses are not required to have an Employee Identification Number. If, for example, somebody is running their business as a sole proprietorship and they have no other employees, they’re most likely not going to need an EIN. If, however, the business in question has more than one employee or they have chosen to structure themselves as either a corporation or a partnership, they’re going to need to apply for an Employee Identification Number.

Some other things that might trigger the need for an Employee Identification Number might include:

  • Filing a tobacco tax return
  • Filing a firearms tax return
  • Setting a Keogh plan up through the business in question

If you’re a business owner and you’re not sure if you need to file for an EIN, it is probably in your best interest to contact an attorney with knowledge and experience in this area to examine your specific situation and help you determine if this is something you’ll need to do. It’s not a good idea to proceed without knowing for sure whether or not you’re going to need an EIN.

Подача заявления по факсу (Apply By FAX)

Налогоплательщики могут послать заполненное заявление по Форме SS-4 (Form SS-4) (PDF) по факсу, соответствующий номер которого приводится в ресурсе «Куда подавать ваши налоговые декларации (по Форме SS-4)» (Where to File Your Taxes, for Form SS-4), предварительно удостоверившись, что Форма SS-4 содержит всю необходимую информацию. Если устанавливается, что предприятию необходим новый идентификационный номер работодателя (EIN), то он будет присвоен в порядке, установленном для организаций данного типа. Если предоставлен номер факса налогоплательщика, ответный факс с идентификационным номером работодателя (EIN) будет послан в течение 4 (четырех) рабочих дней.

Для чего используется индивидуальный идентификационный номер налогоплательщика (ITIN)?

Налоговое управление США выдает индивидуальные идентификационные номера налогоплательщика для помощи физическим лицам в соблюдении налогового законодательства США и обеспечения средств эффективной обработки и учета возвратов налогов и платежей для лиц, не имеющих права (Английский) на получение номера социального обеспечения Эти номера выдаются независимо от иммиграционного статуса, поскольку постоянно и временно проживающие в США иностранцы могут быть должны подавать налоговые декларации США и отчетные документы в соответствии с Налоговым кодексом США. Индивидуальные идентификационные номера налогоплательщика служат только для целей федеральной налоговой отчетности.

Номер ITIN:

  • Не дает права на работу в США.
  • Не дает права на льготы социального обеспечения
  • Не отвечает критериям иждивенца в целях налогового зачета за заработанный доход

Who Needs a TAX ID Number?

For many people, a federal tax ID number or EIN (employee identification number) is mandatory. This is true for people who employ workers, operate a firm or partnership, have a Keogh plan or file excise, alcohol, tobacco, employment or firearms taxes.

You can file for a federal tax ID number Georgia under several different categories, depending on your business needs. The possible tax entities are listed below.

  • Sole proprietor / individual Tax ID
  • Limited liability corporation
  • Corporation
  • S-corporation
  • Trust
  • Estate of deceased individual
  • Personal service corporation
  • Church controlled organization
  • Non-profit organization
  • Partnership Tax ID

When working with an experienced company you can get assistance on what category you fall under. You can also learn if you must have an EIN or if you need a new one.

Federal Tax ID for a Business

A federal tax ID lookup is a method of searching for a business’s information using their tax identification number (FTIN), or employer identification number (EIN).

Tax identification numbers are issued to businesses by the IRS depending on their structure. When a business changes its structure, it will usually be issued a new ID number. The United States federal government uses a federal tax identification number for business identification.

An EIN will possess nine numbers and is used by the IRS for administering taxes for the following entities:

  • Employer
  • Sole proprietorship
  • Trust or government agency
  • Corporation

Either the grantor, owner, or trustee of an organization will be issued an EIN. The practice of “one per responsible party per day” applies to the issuance of EINs. To make sure tax administration is successful, the IRS is focused on only providing qualified parties with an EIN. Third-parties applying for an EIN must identify themselves as a third-party designee.

An EIN can be applied for online or by using the paper Form SS-4. An organization whose primary business address is in the United States can apply for an EIN online.

An EIN is not a replacement for a Social Security Number (or SSN).

Finding the Federal Tax ID Number of a Third Party

If the number you are looking for is that of a business you regularly interact with, you may find it on an invoice, a receipt, or another business record. For example, day care centers often put their Employer Identification Number on forms and invoices because parents need this information for tax purposes to be able to deduct those expenses.

Nonprofit organizations often list their tax ID number on donation receipts so that the donor can take the deduction for their business or personal tax return. Some companies, especially publicly traded ones, list the EIN on their website, often on an «About Us» or «Legal Disclosures» page or something similar.

If you have to call a business to ask for the EIN, try the Accounting Department or Human Resources as they are the ones most likely to have that on file. This is more difficult if the company is out of business, but the information does still exist. Someone is still in charge of the records. You may be able to get that information from the Secretary of State’s office in the state where the business operated.

If you’re searching for the EIN of a publicly traded company or a nonprofit organization, there are free directories online that can help. Try EDGAR, the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system, for publicly traded companies. It’s maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The EIN is also listed on the company’s 8-K, 10K, or 10-Q reports. If you’re looking for the EIN of a nonprofit organization, try Melissa Data.

If all these options still don’t find the number you need, try the IRS directly to find the number. Use the contact information on IRS.gov to reach an agent. Explain why you need the number and all the things you’ve already attempted. The agent can help or at least make some suggestions about the next step.

As a last resort, there are attorneys and private investigators you can hire to track down the number. They have legal search engines not accessible to the general public that might be able to find the information. However, think about whether the tax deduction or whatever you need the number for is worth the cost, which is probably going to be several hundred dollars.

Understanding the Tax Identification Number (TIN)

A tax identification number is a unique set of numbers that identifies individuals, corporations, and other entities such as nonprofit organizations (NPOs). Each person or entity must apply for a TIN. Once approved, the assigning agency assigns the applicant a special number.

The TIN, which is also called a taxpayer identification number, is mandatory for anyone filing annual tax returns with the IRS, which the agency uses to track taxpayers. Filers must include the number of tax-related documents and when claiming benefits or services from the government.

TINs are also required for other purposes:

  • For credit: Banks and other lenders require Social Security numbers on applications for credit. This information is then relayed to the credit bureaus to ensure the right person is filling out the application. The credit reporting agencies also use TINs—notably SSNs—to report and track an individual’s credit history.
  • For employment: Employers require an SSN from anyone applying for employment. This is to ensure that the individual is authorized to work in the United States. Employers verify the numbers with the issuing agency.
  • For state agencies: Businesses also require state identification numbers for tax purposes in order to file with their state tax agencies. State taxing authorities issue the I.D. number directly to the filer.

Tax identification numbers or taxpayer-identification numbers come in several different forms. Individuals are assigned TINs in the form of Social Security numbers (SSNs), whereas businesses (e.g., corporations and partnerships) are assigned employer identification numbers (EINs). Other types of TINs include the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), the Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number (ATIN), and the Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). More information about these types is noted below.

What the letters mean

Letters in your tax code refer to your situation and how it affects your Personal Allowance.

Letters What they mean
L You’re entitled to the standard tax-free Personal Allowance
M Marriage Allowance: you’ve received a transfer of 10% of your partner’s Personal Allowance
N Marriage Allowance: you’ve transferred 10% of your Personal Allowance to your partner
T Your tax code includes other calculations to work out your Personal Allowance
0T Your Personal Allowance has been used up, or you’ve started a new job and your employer does not have the details they need to give you a tax code
BR All your income from this job or pension is taxed at the basic rate (usually used if you’ve got more than one job or pension)
D0 All your income from this job or pension is taxed at the higher rate (usually used if you’ve got more than one job or pension)
D1 All your income from this job or pension is taxed at the additional rate (usually used if you’ve got more than one job or pension)
NT You’re not paying any tax on this income
S Your income or pension is taxed using the rates in Scotland
S0T Your Personal Allowance (Scotland) has been used up, or you’ve started a new job and your employer does not have the details they need to give you a tax code
SBR All your income from this job or pension is taxed at the basic rate in Scotland (usually used if you’ve got more than one job or pension)
SD0 All your income from this job or pension is taxed at the intermediate rate in Scotland (usually used if you’ve got more than one job or pension)
SD1 All your income from this job or pension is taxed at the higher rate in Scotland (usually used if you’ve got more than one job or pension)
SD2 All your income from this job or pension is taxed at the top rate in Scotland (usually used if you’ve got more than one job or pension)
C Your income or pension is taxed using the rates in Wales
C0T Your Personal Allowance (Wales) has been used up, or you’ve started a new job and your employer does not have the details they need to give you a tax code 
CBR All your income from this job or pension is taxed at the basic rate in Wales (usually used if you’ve got more than one job or pension) 
CD0 All your income from this job or pension is taxed at the higher rate in Wales (usually used if you’ve got more than one job or pension) 
CD1 All your income from this job or pension is taxed at the additional rate in Wales (usually used if you’ve got more than one job or pension)

If your tax code has a ‘K’ at the beginning

Tax codes with ‘K’ at the beginning mean you have income that is not being taxed another way and it’s worth more than your tax-free allowance.

For most people, this happens when you’re:

  • paying tax you owe from a previous year through your wages or pension
  • getting benefits you need to pay tax on — these can be state benefits or company benefits

Your employer or pension provider takes the tax due on the income that has not been taxed from your wages or pension — even if another organisation is paying the untaxed income to you.

What Are the Benefits of a Tax ID Number?

Even for those who are not required to get an EIN, it can be a valuable tool to protect one’s privacy and thwart identity theft. Instead of handing out your Social Security number to clients you give them your EIN. Since this nine-digit number functions as a de facto Social Security number it is safer to use with a wide range of parties. To decrease the likelihood of identity theft it is a good idea to limit the people who have access to your important information.

Since most businesses will have to have a tax ID number, you should get on top of it right now. If you are wondering how to get a tax ID number in Georgia it is a fairly simple process. Whether you are looking for one in Georgia or need a Massachusetts tax ID or a New Jersey tax ID, we can help.

Validation

You’re responsible for making sure that customer information is accurate (including their tax identification number). Stripe displays a customer tax ID on an invoice, regardless of whether or not it’s valid.

Stripe Billing provides automatic validation to help determine if formatting is correct. Stripe also provides automatic validation with government databases for the tax ID types below.

Australian Business Numbers (ABN)

Stripe automatically validates all Australian Business Numbers (ABNs) with the Australian Business Register (ABR).

European Value-Added-Tax (EU VAT) Numbers

Stripe also automatically validates all European Value-Added-Tax (EU VAT) numbers with the European Commission’s VAT Information Exchange System (VIES). This process only validates whether or not the tax ID is valid—you’ll still need to verify the customer’s name and address to make sure it matches the registration information.

VIES validation usually takes only a few seconds, but depending on the availability of various government databases, may take longer. Stripe automatically handles VIES downtime and attempts retries for you.

United Kingdom Value-Added-Tax (GB VAT) Numbers

Stripe automatically validates all UK Value-Added-Tax (GB VAT) numbers with the United Kingdom’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC). This process only validates whether or not the tax ID is valid—you’ll still need to verify the customer’s name and address to make sure it matches the registration information.

HMRC validation usually takes only a few seconds, but depending on the availability, may take longer. Stripe automatically handles HMRC downtime and attempts retries for you.

Validation webhooks and Dashboard display

Because this validation process happens asynchronously, the webhook notifies you of validation updates.

The Dashboard displays the results of the validation within the customer details, including information returned from the government databases, and the registered name and address.

When automatic validation isn’t available, you should manually verify these IDs.

Social Security Number

A Social Security number (SSN) is the most common identifier for personal identification and tax purposes. Individuals must have a Social Security number to get a job and collect Social Security benefits.

SSNs are used by employers to report the annual income of employees for their income tax returns. They’re used to determine Social Security and Medicare eligibility and benefit payments and to identify workers for work eligibility through the U.S. Customs and Immigration system.

Other times a Social Security Number might be requested:

  • To open a bank account
  • To apply for a passport
  • On a federal student loan application
  • To apply for Medicare and Social Security benefits
  • To apply for public assistance, including unemployment benefits
  • To check credit

if someone isn’t eligible for a Social Security number, they may be able to apply for and receive an Individual Taxpayer ID Number (ITIN).

Подача заявления через Интернет (Apply Online)

Подача заявления на присвоение идентификационного номера (Internet EIN) работодателя через Интернет является предпочтительным методом подачи заявлений и получения идентификационных номеров работодателей (EIN) пользователями. После оформления заявления информация проходит проверку в режиме интерактивного обмена информацией, и немедленно выдается идентификационный номер работодателя (EIN). Процедурой оформления через Интернет могут воспользоваться все те организации, основное место расположения, отделение или агентство которых находится в США или на территориях США, а также те физические лица, юридическое место проживание которых находится в США или на территориях США.

Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval System (EDGAR)

Using the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) System is the easiest way to search for a federal tax ID number.

Maintained by the SEC, the EDGAR system is a database that includes information about for-profit companies. This online service is completely free.

The EDGAR database includes several forms that may contain a business’s EIN, including the 8-K, 10-K, and 10-Q forms.

Before you start your EDGAR search, you should keep in mind that searching just the first few letters of a business’s name will provide you better results, as many businesses are not listed under their full names.
