How many days do businesses have to file an Application for Employer Identification Number with the IRS?

5 days
10 days
15 days
30 days

The correct answer is: 30 days

Businesses have 30 days to file an Application for Employer Identification Number (EIN) with the IRS after they become eligible. This timeframe is important because obtaining an EIN is crucial for a business to legally operate, hire employees, and manage tax obligations. The 30-day window ensures that businesses can quickly establish their identity for tax purposes, allowing them to comply with federal regulations concerning employment and taxation. Filing within this period helps avoid any potential delays in obtaining necessary licenses or permits that often require an EIN. This period is designed to streamline the process of setting up a business and getting it running effectively.
