Establish ein field
in this video I'm going to show you guys how to create your free a I n for your business first thing you want to do is make sure you are at the right website now I will not take away from other websites that I know do this for you that charge of fee there are some benefits there are some take backs to having someone else do this if you have used I've used Legal Zoom in the past if you use what other ones are there I mean there's tons of them but this is not to take away from that process or that websites that work like that this is to show you how you can do it for free and it only takes a few minutes so first thing you want to do is make sure you go to irs.gov that's IRS dot 0 v so once you are on the website where you see all this stuff right here right what you want to do is you want to look for let's make sure I'm getting the right thing its 1099 no we don't need that one and we are looking for AI ends right there so you're going to look for information for me I n will click on that boom popular so once you click on the popular AI end it'll bring you to a page that I'll explain yeah I am which is short for employer identification number online so here it goes through step one to determine your eligibility sorry about that you may apply for AI n online if your principal business is located in the US so if you're out the country you will have to go to a different process but if you're in United States you can apply for your EIN right here the person applying online must have a valid taxpayer identification number so you must have a social security number you must be a human being right you are limited to 1 iin per responsible party per day now this was something that I liked because the responsible party is the person who ultimately owns or controls the entity or who exercises ultimate effective control over the entity unless the applicant is a government entity the responsible party must be an individual example a natural person not an entity so this was something that I found was pretty cool is you could come on here you can create as many aeons as you want the limit is one per day so you can make 365 eons per year if you wanted to so after you realize you're a u.s. agent I mean a u.s. agent a u.s. person you have a social security number move on this step to understand the online application you must complete this application in one session as you will not be able to save and return at a later time now your session will expire after 15 minutes of an activity and you will need to start over so make sure when you're doing this you set aside you know five to ten minutes to not be distracted to not have to stop because you will have to complete this and step three is easy submit your application after all validations are done you will get your EIN immediately upon completion you can then download save and print your EIN confirmation up so there's an explanation and go over to taxes some benefits and breaks down everything for you guys I'm going to go ahead and create a ien because like I said we can create one every day so I'm gonna create one so I'm gonna click apply now systems for authorized use only you'll see this pop up this just gives you a breakdown and some information I'm going to click OK and make sure you read that all right so about the ein assistant you must complete this application that you already heard that and here's some restrictions make sure you read the restrictions to make sure you aren't and you know you aren't restricted so let's click on begin application alright so the first thing I'm going to do you see that's five easy steps we're gonna identify authenticate put the addresses details and in the confirmation so but what type of legal structure is applying for
