What is an EIN Number?
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to businesses for tax identification purposes. It is often required for various business activities, including opening a bank account, applying for business licenses, and filing tax returns.
How to Find Your EIN Number
If you have recently applied for an EIN, you can typically find it in the following ways:
- Dashboard Access: Once your EIN application is processed, the EIN will be available on your business dashboard. You can log in to your account to view this information.
- Official EIN Notice: After your EIN is assigned, the IRS sends an official notice confirming your EIN. This notice will be uploaded to your dashboard once it is available.
Example of an EIN
For reference, an example of an EIN format is 32-0796923. This format consists of two parts: the first two digits represent the IRS office that issued the EIN, and the remaining seven digits are unique to your business.

You can find your EIN number by accessing your business dashboard or waiting for the official EIN notice from the IRS, which will be uploaded to your account.
