Apply for a Tax ID Number Online
No matter what business legal form you choose, you will probably need an employer ID number. One new DC found that the bank required her to have it before they would open an account.
I just walked someone through the process of getting her EIN (Employer ID) or “tax id” – online through the IRS website. It’s easy. Here’s how to do it:
1. Go to the IRS website and on the left you’ll see a link to Form SS-4. Download the page and print it out.
2. Go through the form filling out all the information. The NAICS code for chiropractors is 621310.
3. You won’t find a box for “Limited Liability Company.” If you are forming an LLC, you are either a single-member LLC – taxed as a sole proprietorship or a multi-member LLC – taxed as a partnership.
4. Completing the form before you go online helps you get through the online questions more quickly and you won’t have to stop and make a decision or look something up.
5. The online form is at the bottom of this link page: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=102767,00.html
6. Carefully go through the questions, answering each one completely.
7. At the end of the process, you will have an opportunity to cancel. Once you hit the “submit” button, it will be a minute or so and you’ll receive your EIN.
See what I mean? If you have questions, comment here or email me directly at jean@dcpracticesuccess.com. I’m always happy to help.
This is the best info for me. Thank’s!
