How do I get a copy of my EIN confirmation letter?

Banking, payments & cross-border

The IRS only issues the CP 575 once. If you have lost it, ask for a 147C letter instead, which serves the same purpose and is what banks accept. You request it by phone from the Business and Specialty Tax Line.

The letter is sent by mail or fax, not email. Our EIN lookup guide covers the call and what the IRS asks you to confirm.

We handle this for founders running US companies.

Heading

Check your EIN confirmation letter (CP 575) first. If that is gone, look at a previously filed tax return, a business bank account application, or any 1099 you have issued. Your bank or your payroll provider will also have it on file.
