About EIN Filing Service
EIN Filing Service is an online document‑preparation company that markets assistance with obtaining an Employer Identification Number (EIN), also known as a Federal Tax ID, from the Internal Revenue Service. According to public reviews and descriptions, it positions itself as a third‑party designee that completes IRS Form SS‑4 and communicates with the IRS to secure an EIN for clients, even though the IRS itself issues EINs at no cost. The business has been associated with a New Mexico physical address and a Sheridan, Wyoming mailing address, suggesting that its corporate registration or mail handling is based in Wyoming while operations may be conducted remotely.
A charge from “IRS EIN FILINGS 888‑4582943 WY” on a card statement likely reflects a fee paid to this kind of third‑party EIN application service rather than a payment to the IRS itself. Customers typically incur a one‑time charge—commonly reported in the $200–$300 range—for the preparation and submission of an EIN application and related document handling. Some reviewers report that they believed they were dealing directly with the IRS because of the site’s branding and language, only realizing it was a private service after seeing the card charge and fee amount.
If you do not recognize this charge, start by searching your email for EIN‑related confirmations, receipts, or correspondence around the transaction date, including any messages from “EIN Filing Service” or similar names and from the phone number on your statement. Check whether you (or someone in your household or business) recently formed an LLC, corporation, non‑profit, or trust and used an online service to “get a Tax ID fast.” If you still have concerns, contact the company using the phone number on your statement to request a copy of the order and refund options, and consider disputing the charge with your card issuer if you did not authorize or receive the service. When in doubt, you can also verify directly with the IRS that your EIN exists and remember that future EINs can be obtained for free via IRS.gov.
