The EIN is your business's federal tax ID. This service is built for non-US founders: either a US LLC or corporation owned by non-residents, or a foreign company that needs a US EIN for banking, marketplaces, or US tax administration.
Apply for EIN $129Non-US founders of a US entity
US LLCs and corporations whose owners do not hold a US passport or Green Card and therefore have no SSN — the IRS path here is different and we run the full SS-4 workflow on your behalf.
Foreign companies needing a US EIN
Companies formed outside the United States that need a US EIN for US banking, Amazon, Stripe, or other US tax administration. Multi-member and multi-owner structures are supported.
Not for US-based founders
If you are a US citizen, Green Card holder, or US resident with an SSN/ITIN, you can obtain an EIN for free directly from the IRS in minutes — you don't need this service. We have intentionally scoped this product to non-US founders.
What happens after payment
After your payment we open a task in your LLCFox dashboard. You will fill in about 15 fields (company info, foreign owner details, mailing address, business description) and sign electronically — most customers finish this in under 10 minutes. We then prepare Form SS-4 and submit on your behalf, and your CP-575 confirmation letter is tracked back into your dashboard.
Scope of this service
LLCFox is a document preparation service, not a CPA firm or law firm. We prepare and submit Form SS-4 using the information you provide, exactly as you provide it. We do not review, verify, or make judgments about your details, and we do not give tax or legal advice. The EIN decision is made solely by the IRS.
The EIN itself is free from the IRS, but the workflow is not always simple. When the responsible party has no SSN or ITIN, or the company sits outside the standard IRS online flow, founders often need help preparing Form SS-4, choosing the correct responsible-party details, and following the submission process cleanly.

Is the EIN itself free?
Yes. The IRS does not charge for issuing the EIN. Our fee covers preparation, submission support, CP575 tracking, and follow-up help.
Who is eligible?
Non-US founders only — either a US entity owned by non-residents, or a foreign company. If you have a US passport, Green Card, SSN, or ITIN, please apply directly with the IRS.
What do I receive?
CP575, the IRS EIN confirmation letter, plus your assigned EIN details for banking and compliance use.
We prepare and submit the SS-4 paperwork from the information you provide, and track your CP-575.
