Florida EIN assistance
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a federal tax identification number issued by the IRS, not Florida. Applying directly through the IRS is free. Corp USA charges a preparation/service fee for assistance, not an IRS fee; review that service fee at checkout.

When an EIN may be needed
Corporations, partnerships and businesses with employees generally need an EIN. Some single-member LLCs may not need one for federal tax purposes but may request one for banking or state requirements. Review the IRS guidance for your situation.
Information for the application
After the entity is formed, gather the exact legal name, address, entity type, responsible party details and reason for applying. Application channels and identification requirements differ, particularly for applicants outside the United States.
Free IRS application or paid assistance
You may apply directly at IRS.gov at no charge. Our optional paid service helps prepare and submit an application; it does not speed up IRS review or guarantee issuance. An EIN does not itself determine your tax classification or satisfy all business-license obligations.
