Please follow the path below to find your employer's EIN number:

Try asking your employer (specifically, their payroll, human resources, or accounting department).
Get it from last year's W-2, if you're still working for the same company. This is assuming your employer kept the same EIN (most of them do).
If you work for a publicly-traded company (i.e., it has a stock symbol), try an online search for their 10-K.
- On the 10-K, look for IRS Employer Identification No. or similar. It's usually on the first page. (This might not work if your employer has multiple EINs.)
If your employer went bankrupt, do a search for related court documents. Oftentimes the EIN will be on the docket sheet, along with their name and address.
