How to Get an EIN in North Miami: Same-Day IRS Filing Guide
An EIN is free and takes 15 minutes if you have an SSN. Non-residents take longer. Here's how to do both without getting rejected.
Who needs an EIN
Every LLC (even single-member), every corporation, every partnership, and any sole proprietor with employees or a Solo 401(k).
Online with SSN — 15 minutes
irs.gov/ein → answer questions → EIN issued instantly. Only works Mon–Fri 7am–10pm ET.
Without SSN (non-residents)
Fax Form SS-4 to (855) 641-6935. Takes 4–6 weeks. Missing info = start over. I file these for North Miami clients and get them in 3–4 weeks consistently.
Common rejections
Duplicate application (never apply twice in one day), name mismatch with Sunbiz, missing responsible-party info, or listing 'LLC' when Florida hasn't approved the formation yet.
Don't pay a middleman $300 for a free service
Legitimate help costs $75–$150 for non-residents. Anyone charging $300+ for a US-resident EIN is overcharging.
