What You Need to Know Before Forming & Filing
Authoritative legal facts, banking underwriting standards, and statutory guidelines every international founder must understand to protect their entity and satisfy compliance standards.
Free IRS Issuance vs. HynoGo Value-Add Service
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) does not charge a filing fee to issue an Employer Identification Number. However, foreign entrepreneurs without a US Social Security Number (SSN) cannot use the automated IRS online tool and must submit via paper/fax with a qualified representative. HynoGo charges for professional Form SS-4 preparation, acting as your non-resident third-party designee, resolving IRS agency inquiries, and providing digital document archiving.
What is an EIN?
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a unique 9-digit number issued by the IRS to identify your business for tax purposes. It is required for business bank accounts, payment processing, employee payroll, and most US business activities.
Why Do You Need an EIN?
An EIN is needed to open a US business bank account, configure commercial payment gateways, hire employees, file federal and state tax returns, and establish business credit. Without an EIN, financial institutions will not process your business application.
EIN vs SSN — Key Difference
An SSN (Social Security Number) is a personal identifier for US citizens and residents. An EIN is a business tax ID that does not require an SSN. Non-US residents can apply for an EIN using IRS Form SS-4 without an SSN — which is handled through our third-party designee filing desk.
How Long Does IRS Processing Take?
For non-US residents applying via Form SS-4, the IRS typically processes international fax filings within 2–3 business days. We monitor the application and notify you as soon as your official EIN confirmation letter is ready.
What Can I Do With an EIN?
With your EIN you can: open a US business checking account (Mercury, Relay, Chase), configure compliant e-commerce gateways, file annual US tax returns (Form 1065 or 1120/5472), and establish commercial credit history.
