Draw On Legal Illinois EIN Services Forms For Free

Applying for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a free service offered by the Internal Revenue Service. Beware of websites on the Internet that charge for this free service.

All other businesses must request a FEIN from the IRS website, or contact them at 1 800-829-4933 with questions. NOTE: If you are a single-member LLC and do not have a FEIN, you will need to complete the paper version of the Form REG-1, Illinois Business Registration Application.

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) (also called Federal employer identification number, or FEIN) is a taxpayer number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It is similar to a Social Security number but is used for a business. Every business must have an EIN.

By law, most LLCs must have an Employer Identification Number, or EIN. It is also called a Federal Tax Identification Number (FTIN) or Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN).

You can get an EIN immediately by applying online. International applicants must call 267-941-1099 (Not a toll-free number). If you prefer, you can fax a completed Form SS-4 to the service center for your state, and they will respond with a return fax in about one week.

We recommend applying for an EIN online if you have a SSN (Social Security Number) or ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number). This is the easiest filing method and it has the fastest approval time. Your EIN Number will be issued at the end of the online application, which takes about 15 minutes to complete.
