San Diego New Business: Empoyer Identification Numbers

In San Diego, California, a new business must get a nine-digit employer identification number (EIN) from the Internal Revenue Service if it either pays wages to one or more employees or files pension or excise tax returns. An EIN is like a Social Security number for a business. It is used when filing a federal tax return, as well as for correspondence with the IRS or the Social Security Administration.

In San Diego, for your convenience, we are attaching links to the Internal Revenue Service and Social Security Administration. You can also download the appropriate forms from these websites.
