EIN
Get an EIN for Your Utah Business
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is the federal tax ID the IRS issues to your Utah LLC or corporation. Banks ask for it, payroll needs it, and the Utah State Tax Commission uses it when you register for sales tax or withholding. The IRS charges nothing. We apply for $109 once the Division has filed your company, so the names match exactly.

Get an EIN for Your Utah Business: the Utah specifics
Corporations need it to reinstate
Utah's reinstatement application asks for the federal employer identification number of a corporation or nonprofit (Utah Code § 16-1a-604). Getting the EIN at formation avoids a scramble later.

The Division assigns an entity number when it files your certificate or articles. The IRS assigns the EIN. Keep both: the entity number goes on renewals and changes, the EIN on tax returns and bank paperwork.

An LLC or corporation that wants S corporation tax treatment files IRS Form 2553, which needs the EIN. Timing runs from the start of the tax year the election should cover.
Source: Internal Revenue Service (IRS)When to apply
Apply after the Division files the certificate or articles, so the legal name on the EIN letter matches the state record exactly. Mismatches between the IRS name and the Utah record are a common reason banks delay opening an account. If you will hire in Utah, register for withholding with the State Tax Commission once the EIN is issued.
