The Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to identify businesses and other entities for tax purposes. You need an EIN number to open a bank account or if you want to sell on Amazon.
Here is an overview of the EIN application process:
Determine if you need an EIN: Most businesses and organizations require an EIN. You will need an EIN if you have employees, operate as a partnership or corporation, file certain tax returns, or engage in specific types of businesses, such as trusts, estates, and nonprofit organizations. If you are a foreign person and want to do business in the US, you need an EIN.

Do you need an EIN?If you have a sole proprietorship, you can use your social security number for your business transactions such as opening a bank account, but we recommend that you get an EIN to keep your social security number as safe as possible. Foreign sole proprietors which do not have a social security number need an IRS EIN. All other business entities are required to have an IRS EIN/Tax ID to identify the taxpayer. If an entity has employees, an IRS EIN is required for tax purposes.
How long does it take to get an EIN?We will process your request within hours of receiving your application. The IRS will take 4 days to issue your EIN number. They may take longer as we do not have any control over their timeline.

Do I need an IRS EIN if I am filing for a Sole Proprietorship?If you have a social security number, you do not need an EIN, but an EIN would allow you to not have to disclose your social security number for business transactions such as for opening bank accounts. This will help keep your social security number safe. If you hire an employee, you must get an EIN number.
Are any entities excluded from requiring an IRS EIN?No all entity types should acquire an EIN
What does obtaining an IRS EIN allow me to do for my business?It will allow you to open a business bank account, apply for a business license and file your company's tax return.

Do I need a tax ID to sell on Amazon?If your business is based in the United States, you will need a tax identification number — usually an Employer Identification Number (EIN) or Social Security Number (SSN).

If your business is based outside the US, you will still need to submit the appropriate tax form, which you can find by completing Amazon’s tax interview.
Do I need to use a filing service to get my EIN?You do not technically need to use a filing service or representative. Keep in mind, however, that in order to ensure that your EIN is filed properly, it is recommended to use a professional service.
