Misplaced Your EIN?
If you previously applied for and received an
EIN for your business, but have since misplaced
it, try any or all of the following actions to
locate the number:
- Find the computer-generated notice that was issued by the IRS when
you applied for your EIN. This notice is issued as a confirmation of
your application for, and receipt of an EIN.
- If you used your EIN to open a bank account, or apply for any type
of state or local license, you should contact the bank or agency to
secure your EIN.
- Ask the IRS to search for your EIN by calling the Business &
Specialty Tax Line at (800) 829-4933. The hours of operation are 7:00
a.m. - 10:00 p.m. local time, Monday through Friday. An assistor will
ask you for identifying information and provide the number to you over
the telephone, as long as you are authorized to receive it. If you are
not a person authorized to receive this information, a confirmation
letter can be mailed to the taxpayer at the address of record.
