It's not a hard job to get an EIN confirmation letter even if you lose initial EIN confirmation called (CP 575). You just need to contact IRS and ask for EIN confirmation letter called (C 147).
Unfortunately, looking up your EIN on IRS isn't an option, as there's no EIN lookup tool. Still, that doesn't mean you're entirely out of luck. You can find it on the official IRS notice you received when it was issued, call the IRS directly or locate your EIN on business documents.
You can find digital copies of most IRS notices in your online account, under the 'Notices and Letters' section.
To request a 147c letter from the IRS, contact the IRS Business and Specialty Tax line at 1-800-829-4933. They are open Monday through Friday from AM to PM, taxpayer local time (Alaska and Hawaii follow Pacific Time). Be prepared to answer several security questions.
IRS 147C letters are only sent via mail or fax. There are two ways to fax: traditional fax machines and digital fax machines. Security reasons mean the IRS doesn't send 147C verification letters via email.
