IRS EIN For Tax-exempt Organizations

EIN For Tax-exempt Orgs

Review the requirements and process for obtaining an employer identification number for tax-exempt organizations. Every organization must have an employer identification number (EIN), even if it will not have employees. The EIN is a unique number that identifies the organization to the Internal Revenue Service.

The EIN is not your tax-exempt number. That term generally refers to a number assigned by a state agency that identifies organizations as exempt from state sales and use taxes. You should contact your state revenue department for additional information about tax-exempt numbers.

Note: Don’t apply for an EIN until your organization is legally formed.
