What is an EIN?

An EIN, or Employer Identification Number, is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the IRS to business entities operating in the United States. It's essentially a Social Security number for your business, used to identify your company for tax purposes. Whether you're offering white-label SaaS, products, or services in Idaho, you'll likely need an EIN.

How to Apply for an EIN

  1. Determine Eligibility: Ensure your white label business entity (LLC, Corporation, etc.) is properly formed and recognized by the state of Idaho before applying for an EIN. Starting a white-label business in Idaho requires registration with the Idaho Secretary of State.
  2. Prepare Form SS-4: Download Form SS-4 from the IRS website (irs.gov) or use Lovie's AI-powered platform to automatically complete the form. This form requests information about your white label business, such as its legal name, address, and the reason for applying for an EIN.
  3. Choose Your Application Method: You can apply for an EIN online, by mail, by fax (though this method is being phased out), or through a third-party service like Lovie. The online application is the fastest method.
  4. Complete the Online Application: If applying online, answer all questions accurately and completely. You'll need to provide information about your white label business structure, the date it was formed, and the responsible party.
  5. Submit Your Application: For online applications, submit the form electronically. If applying by mail, send Form SS-4 to the IRS address provided on the form instructions. Lovie can handle the submission process automatically.
