Just a quick question.

Call the IRS Business and Specialty Tax Line at (800) 829-4933 between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. local time on business days only.

An IRS representative will ask you personal information about your business and finances to verify your identity over the phone. You will likely need to have your social security number ready. When you are finished verifying your identity to the operator, the operator will be able to give you your EIN over the phone.

Ummm. A TIN (TAXPAYER identificatin number) is often issued in lieu of a Social Security Number.

That could also be considered a Federal Tax Identification number.

So how will this work? You are replying for an EIN (EMPLOYER identification number)
