Maureen, I don't believe there are any restrictions on getting an EIN if you have a former corporate bankruptcy on record, but consult a business attorney or call the IRS directly to be sure. For more information on EIN (tax ID numbers) for sole proprietors, visit the IRS website.

Alison, there is a a website called Free Erisa that lets you set up a free account and use up to three free searches. You can type in the EIN of a company and search for it. There may be other sites - this was one that looked fairly good. I'm not sure if the first two digits refer to a state or some other code, but there are websites that enable you to search the EIN to find the company. Good luck!

Hi, I was a victim of identity fraud. I have the TIN and am wondering if there is any way to identify the state the business is located in by the first three digits like with a social security number since it is a national organization?

Hi Mike,

Even though your organization never materialized, on paper you'll need dissolve your business partnership. You'll not pay tax, but until your partnership is dissolved you must file a return for informational purposes.

I applied for and recieved an EIN for an investment club that never really materialized. Does anyone know if I have to file a final 1065 or can I just forget about it? Please let me know...

You can visit the Internal Revenue's site and use their search engine to look for Federal Tax ID. Then print out the page and use it to help you explain why it is needed and what it is.

hello we have a company that exports to Mexico constantly and we require the Federal Tax ID No. from our suppliers, this is a must for US customs for exporters, for some reason people think its some sort of scam specially the small owned businesses, i have to questions is there a publication on Internet that i can show them to make them understand that this is a legal procedure, and is there some sort of book with the Federal tax id no. from other all companies

Recently I came upon a great website www.businesslicenses.com. It offers the ability to apply online for every state and local business license, permit, & tax registration throughout the U.S. I really think you should check it out.

Good Luck!
