Filling out an EIN application:
1. Decide how you’d like to apply for an EIN number

So be sure to choose the option which you find the most convenient.
2. Make sure that you have all the information, which you’ll need on hand
If you choose to complete your application online or over the phone, it pays to have all the information which you’ll need to finalize your application on hand. Being organized is essential to applying. Especially as if you choose to complete your application online, your session will expire if you are inactive for 15 minutes.
Also keep in mind that if you return to your application at another point in time, you’ll be required to fill out your form from scratch as the information which you previously entered will not be stored.

As an example, if you’ve just started a business or founded a trust, you may need to try and acquire an EIN number as quickly as possible. So that you’ll be able to fill out the necessary legal taxation documents for your business or trust.
If however, you’ve chosen to send your completed application by fax, it may take up to 4 days to receive your EIN number. While if you choose to send your application in the mail it may take up to four weeks to receive your EIN number in the mail.
So be sure to choose your method of completing your EIN application carefully.
