To obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) or taxpayer identification number (TIN), within 30 days for timely BOI reporting, the IRS offers a free online application at www.irs.gov. Foreign entities can request an EIN through a paper filing process which takes approximately 8 weeks. These filings should be completed shortly after formation to meet the 90-day requirement for new entities formed in 2024.
Reporting companies not subject to U.S. corporate income tax may report a foreign tax identification number and the relevant jurisdiction’s name in place of an EIN or TIN.
