Tax ID
Get an EIN for Your Wyoming Business
An EIN is the IRS tax ID for your business. It is different from the filing ID the Wyoming Secretary of State assigns when you form. The IRS charges nothing and says to beware of websites that charge for an EIN; our $99 fee covers preparing and submitting the application for you.

Get an EIN for Your Wyoming Business: the Wyoming specifics
EIN vs. Wyoming filing ID
The Secretary of State gives your entity a filing ID on its records. The IRS issues the EIN you use for banks, payroll and federal returns.
Check it: Internal Revenue Service (IRS)Free from the IRS
The IRS online tool issues an EIN for free, immediately when approved. You never have to pay the IRS a fee. Our fee is for doing the application for you.
Check it: Internal Revenue Service (IRS)Form first, then apply
Apply after the Secretary of State files your articles, so the legal name on the EIN matches the name on the Wyoming record exactly.
Check it: Internal Revenue Service (IRS)When your Wyoming company needs an EIN
Most banks ask for an EIN before they open a business account, and the IRS requires one if the company has employees, operates as a corporation or partnership, or files certain excise returns. A single-member LLC with no employees may be able to use the owner's number for some federal purposes, but the bank usually decides the question for you.
Apply only after the Secretary of State has filed your articles. The legal name on the EIN should match the Wyoming record exactly, including the LLC or Inc. ending.

How we handle the application
We prepare the application from your formation details, list the responsible party you name, and submit it. The IRS issues the EIN immediately online when it approves the application, and we send you the confirmation letter. The IRS charges nothing for an EIN, and it warns people not to pay websites that charge a government fee. Our $99 is a service fee for doing the work, not a fee to the IRS.
Keep the EIN confirmation with your Wyoming formation documents. Banks, payroll providers and your accountant will ask for it.

The responsible party and other details the IRS asks for
The IRS application asks for the legal name exactly as filed in Wyoming, the mailing address, the type of entity, the reason for applying, the start date, and a responsible party: the individual who ultimately owns or controls the company. For a multi-member LLC, the IRS also asks how many members it has, which sets its default federal tax classification.
We collect these on your order, confirm the Wyoming filing is complete, and then apply. If the IRS cannot issue the number online, it tells us why, and we follow its instructions for the alternative application.

What the EIN unlocks
With the EIN letter and your filed articles, you can open a business bank account, set up payroll, apply for business credit and give a W-9 to clients who need one. If you plan to elect S corporation tax treatment, the EIN comes first, then IRS Form 2553.
The EIN does not change your Wyoming obligations. The annual report and license tax are still due on the first day of your anniversary month, and the registered agent still needs to be in place.
