Using EINForeigner
By accessing or using the site, you agree to use it lawfully and in accordance with these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the worksheet or rely on the site as part of an application.
Informational service only
The guides explain publicly available IRS material for an international-founder audience. The worksheet organizes a limited set of answers to help you prepare the official Form SS-4. It is not the official form, an EIN confirmation, a filing service, a tax return or a professional opinion.
EINForeigner is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting on behalf of the Internal Revenue Service or any state agency. References to IRS forms, notices and services are descriptive.
Your responsibility
You are responsible for:
- Providing accurate information and reviewing every worksheet entry.
- Obtaining and completing the current official Form SS-4 from IRS.gov.
- Determining the entity classification, elections, filing obligations and submission route that fit your actual facts.
- Signing and submitting the official form and retaining proof of submission and IRS correspondence.
- Seeking qualified legal or tax advice when a decision depends on facts not resolved by the form instructions.
No guaranteed result or timing
Using EINForeigner does not guarantee that the IRS will accept an application, assign an EIN, respond within an estimated period, or agree with an entity classification. IRS forms, phone availability, processing times, addresses and fax numbers can change or experience delays.
Acceptable use
Do not misuse the site, attempt to interfere with its operation, submit information you are not authorized to use, impersonate another person, automate abusive requests, or use the service to facilitate fraud or an unlawful filing. Do not submit an SSN, ITIN, passport, identity document or payment-card information through the worksheet or free-text fields.
Email delivery and availability
The worksheet is delivered by email when the delivery service is available. Spam filtering, an incorrect address, service interruption or provider policies can delay or prevent receipt. The site and its features may be corrected, changed, suspended or discontinued without a guarantee of uninterrupted availability.
Third-party resources
The site links to IRS.gov and may rely on third-party hosting, email, analytics and communication services. EINForeigner does not control the availability, security or content of third-party websites and services. Their own terms and privacy practices apply to their systems.
Content and permitted reuse
You may use the worksheet and guides for your own informational and business-preparation purposes. Do not present EINForeigner content or branding as an official IRS product, remove notices in a way that creates a misleading official appearance, or reproduce substantial portions as your own commercial service without permission.
Disclaimers and limitation
The site is provided on an “as available” informational basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law, EINForeigner does not make warranties about completeness, fitness for a particular purpose or uninterrupted operation, and is not responsible for losses caused by reliance on outdated information, inaccurate user inputs, third-party service failures or an applicant’s filing decisions.
Nothing in these terms excludes a right or responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded. This page does not select a governing law, court or arbitration process.
Privacy and changes
The privacy notice describes the current worksheet-delivery and measurement flow. We may revise these terms when the service changes. The effective and last-updated dates identify the version currently published.
