We are an authorized e-File Provider that acts as a Third Party Designee (TPD) (the “Services”) to assist our clients in obtaining a federal Employer Identification Number (EIN), also known as a Taxpayer Identification Number (Tax ID), from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). We are a for-profit company that provides filing and application support exclusively to other businesses; we are not associated with the IRS or any other government agency or regulatory organization.

The Services
We are an authorized e-File Provider that acts as a Third Party Designee (TPD) to assist clients in obtaining a federal Employer Identification Number (EIN), commonly known as a Taxpayer Identification Number (Tax ID), from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). We only work for our clients; we have no affiliation with any government agency or regulatory organization, including the IRS. We offer a premium service that includes application review, error correction, and application process optimization. In order to safeguard our clients’ interests, we communicate directly with the IRS to resolve any issues that may arise prior to the EIN being issued, if needed. The Services include customer support, tracking order statuses, and anytime access to your business data and EIN. Alternatively, you can visit the official IRS.gov website to finish your own free EIN application, but not with the value-added features included with our Services.
Service Fees
Delivery schedules and service fees are subject to vary and are disclosed at or before the point of checkout. The usage of our streamlined application creation services is subject to applicable service fees. Submitting the SS-4 application is free of charge. We provide the service of checking your responses just for grammar, spelling, and completeness. There is no fee from us for the SS-4 application. You can get a blank copy from the IRS website for free. We personally handle any follow-up inquiries with the IRS on your behalf in order to guarantee the completion of your EIN order.
Cancellations & Refunds
Requests to cancel the Services made prior to the completion of the transaction will be fully refunded using the original payment method. Partial refunds may be issued, contingent on the amount of work we have completed at the time of the cancellation request. Please refer to the typical situations listed below:
- If we have completed our services, such as reviewing the application and submitting it to the IRS, but an EIN has not yet been issued as the result of a 101 error, we may return half of your payment.
- If we started processing your order but did not complete the services—such as reviewing the application and seeking further information to complete it— we may return half of your payment.
There are no refunds after an EIN is granted or services have been fulfilled with the IRS on your behalf. All refunds will be processed within five business days of the original credit card or payment method being used. The processing of your refund may take longer than five business days depending on how your financial institution handles the processing of refunds. We will not be held responsible and you will not be qualified for a refund if the original payment method used in connection to our Services is closed, cancelled, limited, or invalid for any reason.

Dispute Resolution
In the event of any disagreement pertaining to the website, services, or these Terms, you consent to first engage in good faith negotiations and use reasonable efforts to work together to reach a mutually agreeable resolution. In accordance with the Commercial Rules of Arbitration (“Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org), if you and the website are unable to reach a mutually agreeable resolution through informal negotiation within (45) forty five days, the dispute resolution will be handled exclusively by confidential binding arbitration, unless the applicable AAA rules or applicable statute dictate otherwise. The arbitrator will be a single person chosen by mutual agreement and confirmed in accordance with the Rules. The winning party is entitled to reimbursement for its expenditures as well as reasonable legal fees associated with the arbitration, but the other parties will split the costs and arbitrators’ fees evenly. The neutral arbitrator’s decision in any dispute shall be final and enforceable against all parties.
Any claim or disagreement under this agreement, to the extent allowed by law, must be submitted within one year of the initial opportunity to make a claim or notice of dispute. A claim or disagreement is permanently banned if it is not submitted within one year. The remaining provisions of this section shall remain in full force and effect in the event that any one of its provisions is determined to be unlawful or unenforceable.
YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE ANY DISPUTES BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.
The arbitration might take place online, over the phone, in person, or through the submission of papers. The arbitrator will render a written ruling; unless requested by either party, a statement of reasons need not be provided. Any award made by the arbitrator may be contested if they do not adhere to applicable legislation.
RESTRICTIONS: The Parties understand that any arbitration will only address the individual disputes between them. To the maximum extent allowed by law, the following rules apply: (a) no arbitration may be combined with another proceeding; (b) no dispute may be arbitrated using class action procedures or on a class-action basis; (c) no customer or user’s claims may be arbitrated, litigated jointly, or consolidated with those of any other customer or user; and (d) no dispute may be brought in an alleged representative capacity on behalf of the public at large or any other person. The Parties acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything in this agreement or elsewhere, we may, to the extent permitted by law, seek preliminary injunctive relief to enforce any of the Terms until the arbitrator’s final ruling is issued.
Force Majeure
This implies that we have not contravened these Terms and shall not be liable to you for any cessation, interruption, or delay in carrying out our responsibilities under them as a result of circumstances beyond our control, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of God, epidemics, famines, plagues, legal actions, government shutdowns, lockouts, wars, terrorism, armed conflicts, or other comparable events. Should any of these infractions persist for a cumulative period exceeding (60) sixty days, we reserve the right to terminate these Terms without liability to you.
