EIN online applications submitted electronically to the IRS must be completed accurately before submission. The name and Taxpayer Identification Number (SSN, ITIN, or EIN) of the actual principal officer, general partner, grantor, owner, or trustor must be disclosed on all EIN online applications. The IRS will refer to this person or organization as the "responsible party" if they are in charge of, oversee, or manage the applicant entity and how its money and assets are spent. The responsible party must be an individual (i.e., a natural person), not an entity unless the applicant is a government entity.

The preferred method for individuals looking to apply for and receive an EIN is through the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) electronic EIN online application. As soon as the application is completed, an EIN is granted right away once the information is verified online. All entities whose principal office, business, agency, or legal residence (in the event it's an individual) is based in the United States or U.S. Territories can utilize this convenient online application process.
