Federal and State ID Numbers

Once the company name has been cleared and the entity has been formed, the client should obtain a Federal Employer Identification Number. This is like a social security number and will be required even though the entity has no employees. The FEIN can be obtained by filing IRS Form SS-4 or following other instructions on the form.

A state identification number should also be obtained, usually from the Department of Revenue in the home state of the business.
