What if I don't have an EIN?

You must have an Employer Identification Number (EIN) in order to pay household employment taxes. If you don't have an EIN, you can use one of the following options to get one:

• Apply online at www.irs.gov . With this option, you can get an EIN immediately.
• Fax Form SS-4   to 855-641-6935. Be sure to include your fax number so the IRS can fax the EIN back to you. This option will take 4 business days.
• Mail Form SS-4  to the following address:
  Internal Revenue Service
  Attn: EIN Operation
  Cincinnati, OH 45999
  You will receive your EIN in the mail in approximately 4 weeks.
