Other places you can find your EIN:

• Last year's W-2—if you're working for the same employer and kept a copy of your W-2 (Copy C).
• Your employer's payroll, human resources, or accounting department.
• Online—if your company is publicly-traded (has a stock symbol).
  • Search for your company's annual report (Form 10-K).
  • The EIN will be labeled IRS Employer Identification No. and is usually on the first page. (This might not work if your employer has multiple EINs.)
• Public court documents—if your employer went bankrupt. Oftentimes the EIN will be on the docket sheet along with their name and address.

I need help finding my bein number

Are you looking for your own business EIN number or one from an employer?

Your employer’s Employer Identification Number (EIN) can be found in box b of your W-2.  If you worked for the same employer last year, the EIN would have been on last year’s W-2.  Sometimes the EIN is located on your weekly paystub.

You can go the employer’s human resources and ask for their EIN but don’t be surprised if they will not tell you.  That would be like asking someone what their Social Security number is.

If TurboTax is partnering with your employer and is allowed to download their W-2’s, your employer would be listed here.
