IRS Changes to EIN Applications

The Internal Revenue Service revised Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number (EIN), to clearly identify the applicant’s true owner. Effective January 2010, all mail, fax, phone, and electronic EIN applications must disclose the name and taxpayer identification number of the true “responsible party” for the entity requesting an EIN.

• Revised Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, requires identification of responsible party
