An EIN, like a Social Security number for individuals, identifies a business entity for tax purposes, aiding in tracking financial transactions and tax compliance.
Businesses use EINs for tax-related tasks like filing returns, opening bank accounts, and hiring employees, while other entities also utilize it for identification and tracking purposes.
EINs are distinct from Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs), with EINs being specific to businesses, while TINs encompass various identifiers including Social Security and Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs).
The necessity of an EIN for an LLC is based on factors such as hiring employees, forming a single-member LLC, or choosing to be taxed as a corporation.
