Repercussions of Not Filing for an EIN for Your Business

Should you feel that filing for an EIN will take so much of your time, think again. GovDocFiling will help you apply for EIN online.

To know the downsides of not having an EIN for your business, it is best to know more about how and where it is used.

What is EIN All About?

EIN stands for Employer Identification Number. It is a nine-digit number assigned to an employer by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This is primarily used to identify employers who are required to file tax returns for their respective businesses.

Aside from being used as a means to identify employer taxpayers, EIN can also be used for opening a bank account for the individual or for the business, for getting a business license, and for filing tax returns via mail.

So naturally, if you don’t have an EIN, you will really have difficulty doing all these things.

Benefits for Securing EIN

EINs are used to secure loans from the banks and from financial management companies. In cases of bankruptcy, having an EIN will allow you access bankruptcy assistance resources including (but not limited to) having a bankruptcy lawyer.

With all these, you can safely conclude that it is really more beneficial to have an EIN as early as the start of your business.
