The previous article shared the different channels through which entrepreneurs can obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN). This article continues to document the often lengthy process of actually acquiring the EIN, capturing the waiting time and steps involved in securing this critical identifier for the U.S. company.
前文分享創業家如何取得EIN的管道。本文繼續記錄取得雇主身份識別號碼 (Employer Identification Number, EIN) 的漫長。
1. 填寫 SS-4表格
FirstBase在美國公司地址取得後,就將一張填好的SS-4表格寄來,表格內容所有的欄位不需要全部填入資訊,對於在美國設立LLC公司的創業家,如想自行填寫SS-4表格,以下填寫內容可參考 (按照SS-4表格內編號陳列):

Designee’s name: 被委託者名
Address and ZIP code: 被委託者住址
Designee’s telephone and fax number: 被委託者的電話跟傳真號碼
申請人資料:

🡺填入英文姓名及公司內職稱,假如是LLC公司,可填寫英文姓名及”Member”
填寫申請人電話 (Applicant’s telephone number),手機可行
填寫申請人傳真 (Applicant’s fax number),如無傳真,可填寫第三方代辦傳真
最後在Signature處簽署申請人名及日期,就完成SS-4表格了
2. 作業時間:
FirstBase回覆申請EIN大概需要4個工作天(business day),但因為COVID-19疫情關係。多次詢問下實際上等待時間大概延長到45天:
信件原文:
We're reaching out to let you know that according to various reports from IRS representatives the new time frame for any EIN application changed from up to 4 business days to up to 45 business days.
博格勝想到最近如果台灣投資人想在美國開立券商進行在美投資,時間一樣拖得非常久。只能耐心等候。
待續...
