One of the first steps in establishing your new business is to secure your Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) or Taxpayer ID. This number assigned by the IRS is the equivalent to a social security number for your corporation.

Do you have employees?	YES	NO
Do you operate your business as a corporation or a partnership?	YES	NO
Do you file any of these tax returns: Employment, Excise, or Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms?	YES	NO
Do you withhold taxes on income, other than wages, paid to a non-resident alien?	YES	NO
Do you have a Keogh plan?	YES	NO
Are you involved with any of the following types of organizations? Trusts, except certain grantor-owned revocable trusts, IRAs, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Returns Estates Real estate mortgage investment conduits Non-profit organizations Farmers’ cooperatives Plan administrators	YES	NO

You can apply for your FEIN by either going to the IRS website. Filing is free. However, if you are unsure how to fill out the form consider having IncParadise handle it for you. For more information on how IncParadise can help you file for your FEIN, click here. Click here for a Free Tax ID – EIN
