How to Get an EIN for Your New Florida LLC

🇪🇸 Leer en Español

Just formed your LLC in Florida? You need an EIN (Employer Identification Number) from the IRS — it's like a Social Security Number for your business.

At Gator Agent, we handle business formation including EIN applications.

Why You Need an EIN

  • Open a business bank account
  • File business taxes
  • Hire employees
  • Build business credit
  • Protect your SSN

How to Apply

Online (SSN holders): Go to the IRS EIN Assistant — get your EIN immediately, free.

By fax (ITIN holders): Complete Form SS-4 and fax to (855) 641-6935. EIN in 4 business days.

Have an ITIN? You can still get an EIN — just can't use the online application. We handle this regularly. See our ITIN guide.

After Getting Your EIN

  • Open a business bank account
  • Get Florida business license if required
  • Register for sales tax if applicable
  • Set up accounting — separate from personal from day one
