147C Form IRS
147C Form from the IRS is the Employer Identification Number (EIN) verification letter. The owner of a US LLC sends this form to the IRS in order to request their EIN number after it has already been provided. An agent of the LLC can also complete and send Form 147 C to the IRS on behalf of the owner.
Here is a look at some of the most common reasons business owners request this form:
- Opening a new bank account
- Applying for credit cards (for an LLC)
- Obtaining US payment processing
- Filing US LLC tax returns
- Prior to entering a commercial agreement
- And more
Importantly, obtaining Form 147C from the IRS is not challenging. However, if you run into naming conflicts, an EIN reference number 101 will be triggered, which you can learn more about at the link here.
In the following section, we’ll provide you with a checklist of the information you will need to have on hand before contacting the IRS.
Then, we’ll answer some of the most common questions we get from people interested in obtaining Form 147C from the IRS.
