EIN / Federal Tax ID Number ?An EIN is like a Social Security Number for your business. The IRS requires it to open a business bank account, hire employees, and file taxes. Even if you don't plan to hire anyone, most banks won't let you open a business account without one.

Required for bank accounts, hiring employees & filing taxes

$49

📋 Additional info needed for your EIN application

SSN / ITIN of Responsible Party * ?The IRS requires the tax ID (SSN or ITIN) of the person who controls and manages this business. This is the primary owner listed in Step 5. Without this, the IRS cannot process your EIN application online.

SSN ITIN I'm a foreigner — Request ITIN +$69

Principal Business Activity * ?The IRS uses this to classify your business for tax purposes. Select the category that best describes what your business does. You'll then add a brief description to be more specific.

▼

Closing Month of Fiscal Year * ?This is the last month of your business tax year. Most small businesses use December (calendar year). Only change this if your accountant has advised a different fiscal year.

📄

Operating Agreement ?This is your business's internal rulebook — it defines who owns what, how decisions are made, and how profits are divided. Banks typically ask for it when you open a business checking account, and it protects you legally if there's ever a dispute between partners.

🌐

ITIN Application ?An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is your tax ID if you don't have a U.S. Social Security Number. The majority of U.S. banks require it to open a business bank account — without one, most banks will turn you away. It's also required to file your federal taxes as a foreign national business owner. If you plan to open a bank account or operate in the U.S., getting your ITIN now avoids delays later.

🏭

Business Tax Receipt (BTR) ?A Business Tax Receipt (formerly known as an Occupational License) is required by most Florida counties and cities to legally operate a business. It must be renewed annually and is separate from your state formation filing.

Sales Tax Registration ?If your business sells taxable goods or services in Florida, you are required to register with the Florida Department of Revenue to collect and remit sales tax. Businesses that sell without registering may face penalties and back taxes.
