Check prior tax returns, bank records, payroll records, and the original IRS confirmation. If it cannot be located, the IRS can provide procedures for confirming a previously assigned EIN.

Swyft Filings' EIN service is intended to help customers prepare and submit the information needed for the EIN request. The EIN identifies the business for federal tax and administrative purposes; it does not replace the state formation filing, a business license, or nonprofit tax-exempt recognition. The business should keep its EIN confirmation with its permanent records because banks, payroll providers, tax professionals, and licensing agencies may request it.
