That's a very nice complement. And I promise not to do any cat videos.
You're a life saver! Nearly, anyway. I was thinking they were free because I got an EIN years ago and didn't recall paying but then I was on an IRS-looking site today that wanted to charge me $279 and I almost fell for it. I thought either I wasn't remembering correctly or they had decided to start changing for it in the last few years. Glad I waited!

@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEAhi dear im non us resident and How can i Get SSN in order to apply for EIN... I alrady have LLC 😊
Hello Rehan, as a non-US resident, you are not eligible to acquire an SSN. However, if you already have an LLC, you can obtain an EIN without an SSN by filling out Form SS-4 and submitting it to the IRS via mail or fax. Please note the following requirements when applying for an EIN without an SSN:
- You need to have a physical mailing address in the United States.
- You must possess a valid email address.
- You must be able to provide proof of your identity and taxpayer identification number.
If you have any inquiries regarding the process of obtaining an EIN without an SSN, you may contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
The best explanation for this process!!!👏👏👏👏

Hello quick question hope you can answer. I started a multi-member LLC I know the owners are member but while filling out the question for my ein I get asked how many employees I'll have do the memebers count as employees it's only 2 members.
[3:37pm PST] @TaxesbyKatie.com
Hey Rafael, As a general rule, more than one member LLC is considered a partnership. The IRS has ruled that a partner, whether they hold only capital or profit interests, is a partner and is excluded from being a W-2 wage employee. So, if you keep that in mind, members are not counted as employees.
thank u

Thanks Javier, I'm glad it helped... and you're welcome!
I have a question. I make handmade soap. Do I click retail or other? And if I click other it has another list and in that list it has sell goods. Do I click that? And if so then there is another list of.selling online/auction or door to door, or brick & mortar, or mail order? I can do all. Why is it all separate?
[10:14am PST] @SaintOres.com
Hello Tamika, If you make soap, then you are a manufacturer. But you are also a retailer if you sell them on Etsy for example. There are many different SIC business codes. The government tracks the type of business and has specifics- like sales tax for retailers. You have to pick one that is the most applicable to you.
Before I head to the County Clerk office in the morning. Can I apply for an EIN before filing out a DBA? I've made sure it's not taken .
Hello Zander, I found your comment in the "Held" section. Sorry for the late response. You probably have it already.
Yes, you can apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) before filing for a Doing Business As (DBA) registration. In fact, applying for an EIN is a separate process from registering a DBA.
While applying for an EIN does not require a DBA registration, some states may require you to have an EIN before registering for a DBA. It is best to check with your state or local government office to determine the requirements for your specific situation.
Thank you for your video! It was very helpful! On line 11 I am just starting the first initial steps of forming the business so I am not sure in what to put accurately for the acquired or start date? Thank you in advance!
[09:34am PST] @SaintOres.com
Hello Barbara, Per the IRS instructions, If you're starting a new business, enter the starting date of the business. If the business you acquired is already operating, enter the date you acquired the business.
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA Thank you!
[10:24am PST] @SaintOres.com
You're welcome... And good luck with the business.
I’m a little confused about the step number 4. You said not to put "llc" in the (legal name of llc) but it says on website it has to match article of organization?? My article of organization shows the word "llc" in the official name of my entity
Hello Abdellahi, Yes, I agree, it is confusing. Your LEGAL name SHOULD contain 'llc' but NOT Corp, Inc, PA. The TRADE name may NOT contain an ending such as LLC, LC, PLLC, Corp or inc.
If you are applying for an EIN (Employer Identification Number) for a Limited Liability Company (LLC), you can use the letters "LLC" in the legal name section of your application. This is because the legal name of your LLC typically includes the abbreviation "LLC" at the end.
However, it is important to note that the legal name of your LLC should match the name that you have registered with your state's Secretary of State or other authorized agency. So if your LLC is registered as "ABC Company, LLC," then that should be the legal name that you use on your EIN application.
***It is also worth noting that if you choose to operate under a different name than your LLC's legal name, you may need to register a DBA (Doing Business As) or fictitious name with your state or local government. In that case, you would use the DBA name as your "trade name" on your EIN application, but your legal name would still be your LLC's name with "LLC" at the end.
I am organizing my class reunion. Can you recommend an appropriate video for obtaining an EIN # in this instance? Thank-you Or at least advise me as to which legal structure to select: Sole P or LCC. This will be a non profit. Thanks again!
[4:38 PM PST] @SaintOres.com
[Hello Tim, It is the same EIN video, regardless of the entity type. You will have to answer questions that apply to your situation. A nonprofit organization can organize itself in four ways: an unincorporated association, a trust, a corporation, or a limited liability company. The corporation is the most common and usually best form for a nonprofit organization.
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA Thank you.

You're welcome.....

Thanks Shahbaz.
Great video very helpful, informative, simple and straightforward. My question is if I have a registered agent would I put the physical address/phone number of the registered agent for the location/phone number section or mine??
[10:54am PST] @SaintOres.com
Hey Adlena, When applying for an EIN, the IRS asks you for the physical location of your business. The address of your Registered Agent cannot be used in this instance. The IRS wants to know where the business is physically located.
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA Okay, great thank you so much for responding.

You're welcome...
I created a LLC and I am the owner , however my brother is one of the members of the LLC, does he count as an employee? and what type of entity should I pick for my taxes?
[10:51am PST] @SaintOres.com
Hello Martin, LLC owners are called members - the terms are interchangeable. So you and your brother are owners (members). Your brother is not an employee. The multi-member LLC is a Limited Liability Company with more than one owner. It is a separate legal entity from its owners, but not a separate tax entity. By default, A business with multiple owners operates as a general partnership. Hope this helps.
hi, awesome and informative video. i have one question. do you have to have a registered LLC first before applying for a EIN??
[9:53am PST] @SaintOres.com
Hello Herbert, Thanks for the nice comment. As for your question... No, you don't necessarily have to have a registered LLC before applying for an Employer Identification Number (EIN). In fact, you can apply for an EIN as soon as you have determined that you need one for your business, even if you haven't formed your LLC yet.
When you apply for an EIN, you will be asked to provide information about your business, such as its legal name, physical address, and the type of business entity you plan to operate. If you haven't formed your LLC yet, you can still provide this information based on your intended business structure.
However, keep in mind that in order to apply for an EIN, you must have a valid taxpayer identification number (such as a Social Security number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) for the person who is responsible for the business. This person may be the owner, partner, or an authorized officer of the business.
Thank you for taking time to reply. Appreciate it
You're welcome... now get back to applying for your EIN....
So when it asks for legal name of LLC, I don’t include the words LLC? For example, I would input “The Bookstore” and not “The Bookstore LLC” even though the latter is what is on my Certificate of Formation?
[12:55pm PST] @SaintOres.com
Hello Bob, All states require LLC names to include these words or abbreviations to make it clear the entity is an LLC (not a corporation or type of entity).
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA got it and thank you for that quick response. So when I enter the name in the EIN portal, I include the LLC denominator, right?
[2:00pm PST] @SaintOres.com
Hey Bob, Yes, because this is your business's legal name and specifies your entity type. Good luck with your business ventures.
What happens if at the end of my LLC name I didn’t include LLC when applying for an ein because I was confused. How do I correct it?
Hi Chikasnsaxion, If you did not include "LLC" at the end of your LLC name when applying for an EIN, you will need to correct it by filing Form SS-4 with the IRS. You can do this online, by mail, or by fax.
On Form SS-4, you must enter the correct name of your LLC, including the "LLC" suffix. You will also need to enter the EIN that was assigned to you when you originally applied.
Once you have completed Form SS-4, you will need to mail it to the IRS at the following address:
Internal Revenue Service
Attn: Entity and Intermediary Operations
Cincinnati, OH 45999
You can also fax Form SS-4 to the IRS at (859) 669-5793.
Once the IRS has received and processed your Form SS-4, they will send you a new EIN confirmation notice that reflects the correct name of your LLC.
Hey there, Im starting a business in San Diego and right now im living out of my van so I dont have an address, My business does not have an office, I can get mail at a homelss shelter but I dont want to use a that as a business address,

Hello Stipsy, As a general rule, most important is to use an address where you are sure to get the correspondence from the IRS.
thank you for the video. i really appreciate it. after research i would like to have a sole proprietorsip but i dont know how to create one. can you please create a video of sole proprietorship walk through video? please and thank you
[10:57am PST] @TaxesbyKatie.com
Hello Rosana, A sole proprietorship is considered one of the easiest types of businesses to start. Unlike corporations or LLC’s, you don’t have to register with the state. However, you must acquire appropriate permits and licenses to operate legally, and you are personally liable for debts, lawsuits, or taxes your company accrues. Thank you for the video idea.

Hello Emerson Baby, The fastest way to get an EIN is to apply online, completing the guided questionnaire. You applied by fax, which usually takes four weeks to process.
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA Unfortunately, there is no online option if you are a foreigner without the requirements, that's why I sent them a fax.

[3:28pm PST] @SaintOres.com
Hey T, Are you asking about Member-Managed LLC VS Manager-Managed LLC?
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA yes I am I'm not sure exactly how the LLC should be set up and structured as far as that, I'm going to be the only owner and employee of the company so would this make it a member managed or manager manage LLC?
Thank you someone just ask me 300$ for doing this
[10:54am PST] @SaintOres.com
Hey T, An LLC might have one owner (called a single-member LLC) or multiple owners. If you’re the sole owner, then it is simple- you DON'T need to decide between member management and manager management. You are, by default, in charge of all management decisions. I hope this helps!
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA thank you for the replys very helpful information newly subscribed to channel 👍
For step 2 would I enter my SSN or should I enter my 9 digit UBI number I received with my certificate of formation?
Hello Ro G, I need more information to answer that question, but most likely, they will not ask you about your UBI when applying for an EIN number. I guess you are referring to the Business Identifier (UBI) number assigned to your business when you register with Washington state.
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA hi Katie! Yes that's correct I received my ubi number and certificate of formation for my LLC from Washington State secretary and was confused as to if I should use my ubi or SSN when registerering for my EIN. Thank u for clearing that up for me! :)
[10:22am PST] @SaintOres.com
Great Ro, The important thing is that you got it figured out. Good luck.
Hello Mam I have no SSN/ITIN number but I Apply for non us resident LLC how to possible same prosse get EIN number what I do filing the SSN/ITIN number places please tell me
Hello Tailor To apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for your non-resident LLC without an SSN or ITIN, follow these steps:
1. Download and complete Form SS-4 from the IRS website.
2. Indicate "No" for the question about having an SSN or ITIN on the form.
3. Submit the completed form by mail or fax to the IRS. Processing times for mailed or faxed applications can take several weeks.
Thanks you so much Mam for reply my msg god bless u
Can I hire employees even though I choose the no employees in the first 12 months
[3:35pm PST] @TaxesbyKatie.com
Hello Rivera, you can hire employees at any time. Even if you started your business without employees and hired them 12 months later.
Hi Katie, when I get to the Authenticate section I entered my first name, middle initial and last name as it appears on my SS card. I entered my SS number. Then chose I am one of the owners. After clicking continue the next screen said Access Denied. I don't know what could be wrong.
If I get past that step I'm not sure which choice to make in What does your business do?
I'm starting a Tree Pruning business. I don't see a choice related to that. Thanks for any help.
[1:16pm PST] @TaxesbyKatie.com
Hello Bill, There must be a problem. The IRS may have found some inconsistencies. You have to contact them, and do it by mail or fax. "For type of business?", just choose "OTHER" and then specify. FYI - I think tree pruning is an excellent choice. I work with quite a few 'tree' businesses, from arborists to loggers, and they're all busy and doing great.
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA Thanks for your quick response. I tried again last night and got all the way through. However in the final review just before submission I noticed I accidently click Illinois instead of Indiana. So I'll try again tomorrow. I do have one question. When choosing the type of business I chose other, then clicked on Service and typed in Tree pruning and removal. Does that sound like I made the right choice? Does Service mean I'm in the service industry? Thanks Katie.
[10:47am PST] @TaxesbyKatie.com
Hello Bill, Yes, you made the right choice. Pruning tree is a service industry because you are not selling a product, you are selling a service.
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA Thanks Katie. You have been very helpful.
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA so I waited until today at 12:45PM to apply for my EIN.
I was careful to make all right choices. After entering my identity and choosing its me not a 3rd party applying. I click next and got Access Denied error message. I'm so frustrated.
Hello ma'am can I use this EIN number for open US Bank account
[10:59am PST] @TaxesbyKatie.com
Hello Ganesh, You should be able to open a bank account using your EIN. BUT you can't use EIN to open a personal banking account, only business.
Very informative. I have a question I am going to start a Hot Shot trucking company. None of the choices for what your business does was listed. What do you do if they don’t list your field of work
Hi Edward, I just filed for my EIN Number for my Freight Dispatch Service, so I'm replying to your comment. You click on Transportation-that will cover your trucking company. Hope this helps. I did the whole thing in less than 5 mins-it's very easy! Happy Holidays to you-
@@BeatriceHobson12 thanks I appreciate it. I just noticed your last name is the same as my middle name. lol
[1:52pm PST] @SaintOres.com
Hello Edward, Beatrice is correct, you should choose the transportation option. It covers all trucking, hauling types of businesses. ALWAYS listen to Beatrice.
Hello Katie, thanks for the video. I have a query. I am based in UK, I have US LLC in Delaware. When filling this form it asks for my SSN/ITIN which I do not have. Is there any work around this? Thanks in advance.
[1:58pm PST] @SaintOres.com
Hello Health, You should have an EIN associated with your LLC in Delaware. So use that one for your form.
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA No actually I asked the formation agent and they said that they have not registered EIN for the LLC. How do I get EIN for an LLC without personal SSN/ITIN?
[5:19pm PST] @SaintOres.com
Hello again Health, Since you are a nonresident for U.S. tax purposes, you do not need an ITIN/SSN to apply for an EIN for an entity. Nonresidents CAN'T USE the online application system. You should download and fill out a Form SS-4 (saintores.com/forms OR at the IRS www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fss4.pdf) for your LLC and name yourself the responsible party. In the field where it asks for your "SSN/ITIN" write FOREIGN" to indicate you are a nonresident. Then mail or fax the completed form to the IRS and wait for them to assign your EIN. As an alternative, you can call the IRS and fax the form to the representative once they provide you with their dedicated fax number. Good Luck!
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA Sorry to be a pain but the above form link goes to page not found link. I tried to search for fss4 form but it does not give any results?
Here’s the direct link to the irs SS-4 form .pdf… hope this works. www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fss4.pdf
can a non US resident having LLC apply with the same method or through fax would be better?
Hello E-layne, Yes, a non-US resident who has an LLC can apply for an EIN (Employer Identification Number) using the same method as US residents. The easiest way to apply for an EIN is online through the IRS website, regardless of your location.
However, if you prefer to apply via fax, you can download Form SS-4 from the IRS website, complete it and fax it to the appropriate IRS fax number. Keep in mind that it may take longer to receive your EIN if you apply via fax.
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA Thanks Katie, I am based in Pakistan. I have applied for EIN through fax and made a call to IRS after 4 days and they assigned me my EIN. I received the EIN confirmation letter after 20 days through mail. I have friends who have applied for EIN my mail but did not receive it after 2 months and they are asking me know to apply for their EIN. What do you suggest? should I apply through IRS website or Fax?
Non residents do not have ITIN or SSN
Hello e-Layne, Yes, a non-US resident without a Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) can apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for their LLC. However, you will need to apply by mail or fax, as they cannot apply online without an SSN or ITIN. To apply for an EIN by mail, you will need to print out and complete Form SS-4. You can find Form SS-4 on the IRS website. Once you have completed Form SS-4, you will need to mail it to the Internal Revenue Service, Cincinnati, OH 45999
Hello again E-layne, Thanks for letting me know you're in Pakistan.. So, with an online application, an EIN is issued immediately. BUT, the online application process is only available for entities whose principal business, office or agency, or legal residence (in the case of an individual), is located in the US or U.S. Territories. Per IRS guidelines, International applicants MUST call 267-941-1099 or fax a completed Form SS-4 to the service center for the specific state, and they will respond with a return fax in about one week. I hope this helps.
Can a non US resident and citizen can get ITIN? e.g I am not living and US and i am not US Citizen as well but for my e-commerce business i need EIN and ITIN can i apply for it and would i be able to get it?
[9:12am PST] @SaintOres.com
Hello X, Yes, you can. To obtain an ITIN, you must complete IRS Form W-7, Application for Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA Thank you that's so valuable knowledge you share truly appreciate you
Thanks X, Now stop watching boring EIN videos and get back to gaming....
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA Haha hey gaming don't pay bills, Gotta do some side hustles to be able to play games, Btw do you offer services to register to ITIN?
Sorry, no services to register an ITIN. Back to gaming... My brother's friend is on the Georgian National gaming team. Just played in some European tournament. You need a gig like that.
Do I file EIN first then LLC ?
[10:18 AM PST @SaintOres.com
Hello Mawunyo, Forming your LLC before you get your EIN is better. One of the main reasons is that when you apply for your EIN, the IRS application asks you to submit the approved legal name of your business and the date it was formed. So, having your LLC formed and registered before you try to get your EIN is helpful.
If we have not resident of America then??
[11:31am PST] @SaintOres.com
Hello Hafiz, To expedite the issuance of an EIN for a foreign entity, please call 267-941-1099. This is not a toll-free call. They will handle it over the phone and you will receive the EIN quickly.
Will it make a difference if I answer "yes" to future employees?
[2:06pm PST] @SaintOres.com
Hello Genevieve, it is important to note that answering "yes" to future employees on your EIN application will have an impact. In this scenario, the IRS will require you to have a plan in place for handling payroll taxes for future employees. However, if you choose to answer "no", the IRS will not expect you to have such a plan. It is important to keep in mind that even if you answer "no", you may still hire future employees at some point in time. In such a scenario, you must update your EIN application and start paying payroll taxes accordingly.
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA Thank you very much for the clarification!
[10:56am PST] @SaintOres.com
You're welcome....
how can I apply for the EIN without using my social security number?
[9:12am PST] @SaintOres.com
Hello Steven, You do not need an SSN to get an EIN. You only need an SSN (or ITIN) if you want to apply for an EIN ONLINE. You can get an EIN without an SSN by sending Form SS-4 to the IRS by mail or fax. Leave SSN field blank since you're not using an SSN.
@@KatieStOresCFPChFCEA , thank yiu very much ,,,,, youre awesome

Hello S D, What was the issue?
This just for LLC business?
[9:35am PST] @SaintOres.com
Hello again K13Z,. The video focuses on an LLC but the process is the same for the others. The EIN is required for most types of businesses, including corporations, partnerships, LLCs, and sole proprietorships with employees. It's a number assigned by the IRS to identify businesses and other entities operating in the United States for tax purposes

Hello again Saifun, Opening a dropshipping business in the U.S. is possible if you're not a citizen, but you must follow a few extra steps. You should look into hiring an attorney specializing in this type of service. Good luck!
