Even if you do not plan to have employees, you will need an EIN if your LLC is going to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open a bank account in the United States.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>File federal taxes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conduct business transactions in the U.S.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Have the LLC registered<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before applying for an EIN, you must have <a href=\"https:\/\/\/en\/como-crear-una-llc-en-nuevo-mexico-desde-espana\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"9502\">set up your LLC in New Mexico<\/a>. If you have already completed this step, you have the LLC formation documents ready, such as the Certificate of Organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Decide how to apply for an EIN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are three main ways to obtain your EIN:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Online<\/strong>This is the quickest option, it is available through the <a href=\"https:\/\/sa.www4.irs.gov\/modiein\/individual\/index.jsp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IRS website<\/a>but <strong>only for those who have a Social Security Number<\/strong> (SSN) or an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number).\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Strange as it may seem to you, the online form only works during IRS business hours: Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern Time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For your <strong>Registered Agent<\/strong>This is the most reliable option if you are not a U.S. resident, as they will take care of the whole process and deliver the number to you. <a href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=2150647&amp;u=1485179&amp;m=69959&amp;urllink=&amp;afftrack=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">EIN without long waits<\/a>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>By mail or fax<\/strong>This is the option you will have to choose if you are not a US resident and do not have a SSN or ITIN. You will have to do it in person and cross your fingers that the fax or letter arrives with the application.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you choose option 1 or 3, you can skip directly to step 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Complete the SS-4 form<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To apply for the EIN in person, you need to download and fill out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-pdf\/fss4.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">form SS-4<\/a>. Here I explain you how to do it in a simple way, but you can also take a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-pdf\/iss4.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IRS instructions for completing Form SS-4<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Name of LLC<\/strong>Enter the legal name of your LLC as it appears in the formation documents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Type of entity<\/strong>Check the box corresponding to \u00abLimited Liability Company\u00bb (LLC).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Number of LLC members<\/strong>If your LLC is a sole proprietorship, select \"1\".<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mailing address<\/strong>You must use a U.S. address. If you have hired a registered agent, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/juanma.tube\/northwest\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Northwest Registered Agent<\/a>you can use their address.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reason for request<\/strong>Select \u00abStart a new business\u00bb.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Signature<\/strong>At the end of the form, be sure to sign it as \u00abManaging Member\u00bb of your LLC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Submit the form<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you cannot apply for the EIN online, you must fax or mail Form SS-4 to the IRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fax<\/strong>Send the completed form to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/filing\/where-to-file-your-taxes-for-form-ss-4\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">corresponding IRS fax number<\/a>. If you choose this option, you should receive your EIN in about 4 to 7 business days.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To send the fax from outside the U.S., you must send it to +1 304-707-9471.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>My recommendation is that you hire a <a href=\"https:\/\/juanma.tube\/faxplus\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/juanma.tube\/faxplus\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">virtual fax number in the USA<\/a> both to send the SS-4 form and to receive the IRS response.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mail<\/strong>If you prefer to send it by mail, it will take longer, between 4 and 6 weeks to receive a response. The address to send the form can be found on the official IRS website.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You must write on the envelope this address: Internal Revenue Service | Attn:  EIN International Operation | Cincinnati, OH 45999<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Receive EIN<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you chose to apply for the EIN with a Registered Agent, they will provide you with your number as soon as they receive it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if you chose to apply for it yourself, the process will be <strong>can take quite a long time<\/strong> and it is not clear by what means they will respond to you, since <strong>do not follow a criterion<\/strong> real. Some people have received it by fax, others by email and others by post. Regardless of the fact that they all requested it by fax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although on the official IRS website, they explain that if you provide them with a fax number, they will send you the EIN within 1 to 4 days, the reality is quite different. According to the experience of other people who have applied this way, the average REAL response time of the IRS to provide you with the EIN ranges from <strong>between 1 and 3 months<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have your EIN, you can use it to open a bank account, file taxes or do any other necessary business for your LLC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, also, that the EIN number is necessary to be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/\/en\/presentar-informe-boi-llc-eeuu\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"9543\">submit BOI report<\/a>If you have incorporated your LLC in 2024, you must do so within 30 days from the formation of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#94d6c475\"><em>In my particular case, I applied for the EIN via Fax to the IRS and they sent the communication with the assigned number by mail in 8 days.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>More information on how to obtain an EIN in New Mexico<\/h2><h3>How to obtain an EIN number in New Mexico?<\/h3><p>For <strong>obtain an EIN number<\/strong> in New Mexico, it is necessary to follow a few simple steps.
