(FAQs)
Your Questions, Answered
Helping you understand our Business Identification Number at TaxCity.
Do I actually need a Business Identification Number?
If you’re hiring employees, opening a business bank account, forming an LLC or corporation, or filing certain tax returns, yes. Even some sole proprietors need one. If you’re not sure, we’ll tell you straight during your consultation.
What's the difference between a Business Identification Number and an EIN?
They’re the same thing. The IRS calls it an Employer Identification Number (EIN), but it’s commonly known as a Business Identification Number or federal tax ID number. Either way, it’s the number that identifies your business to the IRS.
How long does it take to get a Business Identification Number in New York?
It depends on how your application is filed and whether your business details are accurate from the start. We move fast and double-check everything up front, so you’re not stuck waiting for a correction.
Can I get a Business Identification Number before my LLC is fully formed?
In most cases, you’ll need your formation documents in place first. We can guide you through entity formation and your EIN application together, so nothing’s out of order.
Does TaxCity handle Business Identification Number applications for sole proprietors, too?
